I don't know how to rate this, it feels like judging her somehow

[Janice, Moderator]

Nice start Ariane.

Maybe rate on writing style and not content?

[Ariane]

Yes, you are right, I still want to give it 4 stars.
Not that the writing style is particularly good, but it is accurate to the character I would say.
This is written as a long conversation, quite enjoyable to read.
I still don't know how some parents can sacrifice their children for their own profit.
But I think she's not honest about her addiction / or non addiction.

[Janice, Moderator]

I think memoirs are subject to the writers own perspective. She may have blocked a lot of her memories regarding her addiction.

How do these last 3 books connect?

[Ariane]

Book 7 and 8 were published in a year finishing by a 6 (1986 and 2016). Book 8 and 9 were GR award winners for memoir. Is it ok? I'll try to be lore explicit for future report

[Janice, Moderator]

It's just that book 7 didn't state it was published in a year finishing by a 6. And book 8 didn't mention that it was a GR award winner for memoir. You were just missing those. The earlier books in your hike were easy to figure out (same series, etc),
