This story was well-written. Allows the reader to explore an understanding of mental illness & all the people that are affected by it. Especially, the caregivers who exhaust themselves in attempts to help, the loved ones that are in denial, the genetic implications & the fact that it’s a lifetime struggle.
This story reveals important connections between the hurdles with alcohol addiction, with depression & the loved ones that are adversely impacted.
The comparisons to slavery & mental illness were respectfully cadenced.
If you or anyone you know has any connection to mental illness, this book may provide useful insight.

Just when I was annoyed by the main character’s seemingly oblivious demeanor, I began to figure out the twists. I recommend this audiobook.

It took 3 chapters for me to get into this book. However, once I did, I was all in. Most people can identify with the secrets & rivalries that presented in this story. The writing shines a light on the real possibility of and importance of forgiveness & healing within families. Though the narrator has a nice voice, I didn’t care for as the narrator for this book. Her voice didn’t match the description of the sisters. Overall, it’s a good story & I recommend it.

Very good points on mindfulness & the acceptance of what is as it relates to living, illness, disappointments & dying. A good read for anyone of any or of no particular faith.

This book is worth reading for any fan, hip hop historian or person struggling with addiction and depression.
There were times when topics were repeated. I had to check that I didn’t rewind by accident.

I enjoyed this story & creative writing. The story captured the matter of fact manner that many people today use to demonstrate their emotions. With poetic aloofness; glossing over pain & tragedy as if sorrow & regret don’t deserve to have their spotlight. But instead, should be brushed off with satirical indifference. The references to the guilt of indiscretions were sprinkled in well. The book was short, but could easily be adapted into a 2 hour film. The talented Tessa Thompson would play the character she narrated for brilliantly!

I appreciated that this story got to the point swiftly. There were no cat & mouse antics that typically overwhelm romance stories.

Saying I thoroughly enjoyed this book isn’t enough. JPS could easily be a holistic health therapist .
This book spoke to my soul. Not as a fan of the author, her family & public-figured friends. But, as a daughter, woman, wife, mother & friend navigating life in the physical with spiritual experiences.
I NEVER feel a need to re-read a book, but this audiobook I will replay. There are lots of nuggets to explore on trauma, parenting, friendship, marriage, accountability, healing and more. Even the tone of JPS’ voice is soothing. I’ve been recommending it constantly.
To reject this book or anything based on the loud buzz of the masses is an act of thievery against Self. Experience it & then decide what’s good for you.
Oddly, in Chapter 19 around 24 min I could hear slight feedback. Not sure what it was. Sounded like quiet farts. LOL.

I enjoyed the first two books more because the storytelling flowed. This book felt rushed as though there was an obligation for completing on the line. The chapters didn’t flow well. There was a lot of repetition in character and relationship descriptions in various chapters. For me, it was just ok overall.

Abuse comes in many forms- whether it’s self abuse or imposed by someone. This book describes that well.
