by Emi Nietfeld soooooo GOOD ahhHHH many, many feelings - pain definitely at the top of the list. i love the way emi writes, her dark humor, her story telling ability, her introspection -- which enabled me to reflect on my own thoughts and behaviors emi has both a hoarder mom, who does not realize she is mentally ill, and an absentee (also mentally ill) trans parent. emi's adolescence and young adulthood are mired in homelessness and mental illness and she sees college aka success as her way out. one of many lessons learned is that success does not erase the past nor the pain that has shaped a person... this book will wreck you but it's worth it tw/cw: rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, eating disorders
