I liked the different approach to this memoir through the use of second person and by dissecting this part of her life through the lens of different book genres/tropes/fandoms.

As for the subject matter itself, domestic violence awareness in LGBT spaces and outside of them is such an important topic - something that's finally becoming more and more talked about in more and more domains/communities. There are parts that are difficult to listen to (nothing gore-y or heavily violent), but for me I think I'm more sensitive to depictions of emotional and verbal abuse and Machado's recounting of her situation was so vivid and heartbreaking.

I think I'll probably listen to this again in the future.
