got me to like biographical books and i began to think about the idea that how everyone has a story to tell no matter what. usually we hide things/topics/relationships that hold the most significance or key value for us

four stars

The way she talked about her father's bi-polar, from his sweet and loving side to his drunk, abusive side was very powerful. I can't imagine going throguh that experience.

I liked how her writing improved as I read the book. My heart absolutely broke for her when she discusses she's HIV positive. Also, her yearning for love and being completely confused by what it is.

It's a great book but the sketches make it a little harder to see. But overall it's an amazing book.

This was very interesting. I was able to empathize with the authors family history and struggle with his identify.

I wish I read the book before watching the show! I think I would have enjoyed the book more of I didn't have the show as a frame of reference, but I still really enjoyed this read. #WPFreedomtoRead

A very memorable novel about how we should be contra injustice and that those who do are very important to society. when we dont stand up for what's right, we are on the oppressive side. it might not be easy or simple but the correct thing to do is always going to be justified regardless of anything else.

This was very different from the steamy romances that Hoover is known for. This was a really good suspense/thriller story. The ending left me wondering what was true and what were lies. Really good read for anyone who likes tension and a twist.
