It's heartbreaking to read Jennette be completely stripped of her innocence and independence time and time again throughout the book. The end of the book initially had me wanting more, to see her full recovery, to see her happy ending; but after taking a few minutes to process it I realized she owes us nothing more than what she gave, this is her life and not a piece of fiction that has to end in a neat and tiny bow; maybe she is still going through the steps of recovery, maybe that was too personal to share, it's none of our business to know the full extent. Alls we know is she has survived thus far and, based on her reflections to her past, she will continue to survive and thrive.
Overall definitely a book worth reading if you can get your hands on it. The writing is easily accessible and the story is a whirlwind. Even if you weren't a fan of her or a fan of reading, it's easy to pick up and get sucked it for snippets at a time.
