What did you think of Helen Knott as a storyteller? Are there any others areas of her life that you'd enjoy reading about if she were to write another book? Would you like to see her diversify outside of memoirs if she chose too? General thoughts on the author?

Jess861 Such a magnificent storyteller and so brave to be able to tell her story. I will read all books by her - she has a gift! 3d
Ruthiella I think she could write a novel if she wanted to. I know some people (on Goodreads) had an issue with how she structured the memoir so only pieces of her story are doled out at a time, but I thought that was well done. 3d
Kitta I forgot to read this one. Whoops! 3d
Jess861 @Kitta No worries - hope you get a chance to read it one day - it's a good one! 2d

Our first memoir for the #OhCanada read and to me this book is such a powerful and impactful read. So many tough topics and to know that this isn't a work of fiction but a memoir. General thoughts on the book and anything you would like to discuss about the book? Did you enjoy it?

Jess861 To me, one of the many things I gained from this book - is a reminder that even when someone can seem like they have it all together they could still be struggling. Be kind! 3d
Ruthiella I really appreciated Knott‘s honesty and courage. It was tough to read at times, but I am glad I did. And you are so right about people hiding their struggles. (edited) 3d

It does feel weird to put a Pick on this book, because there shouldn't be anything to like in there. And that's why it's a Pick. If you need books with characters to identify with - don't read. If you're going through a hard time - don't read this book. The thing is, the author shows us exactly in what kind of r@pe culture we live in. This is hard to read, but well executed.

Finished this on the last weekend before heading back to school. The story of a group of people from different backgrounds whose lives converge in unexpectedly tender and devastating ways. I enjoyed this read, but wasn‘t a fan of the ending. The writing was fresh and interesting, especially considering it was a debut.

I sometimes have this dream that I‘m drowning in a giant bowl of oatmeal. That‘s how I feel when I‘m at home. When I‘m at school, it‘s different. I hang out with Zach, sneak Ritz Bits crackers during class, and read horror novels in history.
