Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!
An interesting and often jaw-dropping memoir detailing among other things the complicated and troubling relationships with parents. The way Uhle writes brings us right alongside her, laying out all the details in a sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable manner that made me curious for more.
The author picks through the truth of her childhood declaring that half of what each of her parents said was a lie. Maneuvering through what may or may not be true, delivering it all wrapped up like a bow with the details finely milled.
An engaging story that assures I’ll keep my eye out for more nonfiction from this author.
