I Am Her...

review 1: Okay. I really really really wanted to read this book based on the buzz I was hearing. It sounded so amazing. My Secret Santa/Elfster got it for me for Xmas and I just dove in, so excited to start. And it was intense from the get-go. You're nodding along like yeah, I get that. And then...the twists come. And seriously...it's effed up. Which would make for an excellent book, except...It was very repetitive. I get why; the attempt to stress how heinous this was, how mentally fucked up she is, etc., but it got to the point where, as the reader, I kept wanting to say, "I'M DONE!" and DNF it. And then there's the grammar and punctuation. I could forgive here and there, but not every single page, not the inconsistencies from one paragraph to another, etc. This book was torture t... moreo get through. I could barely sympathize with the main character because of her internal monologues. Her childhood was horrifying and utterly disgusting, and I understand what it did to her. In that way, this book was fairly good: The horror is palpable when she begins to remember what happened, when her triggers are recognized, etc. I think a healthy dose of edits to get rid of the extreme repetition, to strengthen word choice and sentence structure, and this would easily hit 3.5/4 stars. For me, it was a miss, and about 1.5 Rounded up to 2.
review 2: I was really not gonna write a review, not just only because i had a lot of mixed feelings and i was mentally and emotionally exhausted but also because i didn't know how i'd write one without spoiling things!!! I started reading without knowing anything about the story which made all the twists and turns the more surprising and i didn't want to take that away from you!! So here is a warning this review may contain some small spoilers! It's Your decision! :) Well, i'm not gonna talk about the plot or any of the storyline and i'll try to be vague.........So,What a great feeling for any woman to have some one noticing her details, appreciating her body and embracing her insecurities,to pay attention to her......so what if you didn't have any of that?! What if you've been looked over,degraded or ignored all your life?! It's really saddening how a woman is bred to be shameful of her body...to think about herself as just a blow up doll without any needs and if she thought otherwise,then she is a whore And a dirty woman!!! How can you maintain to be rational ,sane or feel safe when your own people,the ones who are suppose to treasure and protect you from any abusers or attackers and have your back ARE the abusers,the ones who is driving you crazy,violating you and throwing you to the sharks!!! " i have nothing good and I feel nothing good. There is only awful, heart crushing agony.Please let me go."How can you fight to change something was carved into you for years?!!It's exactly like the sex slave who has been broken and then reformed and reshaped to the liking of the others!!! It was a story full of soul-consuming sadness,shock,torment,turmoil,loneliness,heart aching..... zero self-esteem and self-worth,messed up characters..ect!everything was fucked up,most of the time even so i didn't know what's going on i was crying and heart broken! "No, I'm not leaving you, but I will be taken away..." "This pain is for all I ever wanted and for all I'll never have.These are my tears of agony and loss."Finally this book left me speechless, emotionally messed up and mentally exhausted....it was too much! I usually write my reviews after i finish a book directly in order not to forget the emotional effect the book had on me......this review though, i'm writing it after two days and i'm still emotionally drained! less
