Hannah's honest, brutally honest at times, but it only adds to the overall appeal of the novel. She doesn't bs around the issues, she addresses them head on, despite how very embarrassing they may be. If other memoirs I've read had been like this I may have actually enjoyed them. I hate when they try to cast their lives in the perfectly fake image, I think it's demeaning to your readers. Luckily Hannah doesn't do that. She tells you like it is, or like it was. She highlights the good times, she highlights the bad times.

She doesn't shy away from mentioning her drug use, she doesn't shy away from her eating disorder, she lays it out there, allowing you to judge her. Even though you won't be able to do anything but love and appreciate her in the end.

Hoping that Hannah continues to share her journey. ]]>
