M is deeply troubled on many levels but she is acutely aware of this. The book chronicles her journey with many challenges including self harm, alcoholism, body image issues and toxic and abusive relationships. This book is painful and honest and raw and is one that will stay with me for a while. Nolan weaves the story so gently and carefully that subtleties of the toxic occurrences roll over you slowly as you progress through.
While this is a book with a lot of heavy hitting topics there is a sense of hope and growth that slowly builds throughout. I definitely was able to see certain aspects of myself in M and am sure many others will feel that closeness.
I listened to the book as an audiobook and it worked perfectly as it is mainly a monologue of sorts. The narrator's voice and flow suited perfectly and it is already one of my top audiobooks of 2021.
