a messy narrative that doesn’t do justice to Sabolo’s writing. the two train of thoughts, instead of complimenting each other, made it feel as though two novels were mixed in the most random of manners and would have benefited from being separated.

when a memoir fails to be introspective, nothing can really compensate for this shortfall. it is especially saddening when the topics in themselves are extremely interesting but the way they are handled simply is ... not. to go beyond a superficial analysis shouldn't be too much to ask for what is supposed to be an autobiography !! on the other hand i do feel for Jennette of course, and her dealings with eating disorders that I relate to oh too well, but it is clear that she has a tendency to be self-enabling and especially when it came to her relationship with Steven. i think that a conversation should be had on the way that she treated him and especially how easily she disregarded his wishes when it came to their intimacy and was almost forceful with it. long story short, forcing someone into consenting isn't something one is supposed to do, no matter the reason why they refuse in the first place.
