I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. When the publisher reached out to me asking if I would be interested in reading it I saw the word memoir and almost immediately declined but then I saw it was by an author I had read from before and the synopsis intrigued me so I decided to give it a go. I don't typically read non fiction books but this is the 2nd one this year that I have really enjoyed. This book is told in 3 parts. The first part details her life until she was about 8. This part is about her birth mother who ends up being a prostitute and everything Marina goes through in those years. The second part is about her adoptive mother and everything she goes through from the day she's adopted an onward. I'm assuming her adoptive mother is asexual. It's implied but never confirmed. Each mother is on completely opposite spectrums when it comes to sex. The last part it about her life after marriage on up to the present. The author doesn't hold back with her thoughts and feelings about things. She's brutally honest about pretty much everything. The things she goes through her whole life is hard to read about. There's a lot of triggering content so look into that before picking this book up. It seems wrong to say you enjoy a book about this but I don't know any other way to say it. It's hard hitting and I think there's a lot to take from this book like loving yourself is the most important love. If you can handle the content in this book then I definitely recommend giving it a read.
