Hey, I am particularly interested in memoirs (not necessarily autobiographies like) about complex childhood, Trauma dealing, abusive relationships, and other fun stuff…
What's your favorites?
My favorites would be:
– What My Bones Know – Stephanie Foo
– Angela's Ashes – Frank McCourt (also Tis')
– A Little Life / Hanya's (I know it's fiction but the topic is very relevant)
– In The Dream House / Machado
– Educated / Westover
