On her sixteenth birthday, Mimi's mother gives her a notebook to use as a journal, a tradition in their family. The notebooks of her mother, grandmother, and going back to her great great grandmother sit untouched in the attic.
I really liked this book. I didn't think that the novel in verse style made it flow well, but I liked that each woman in the family had similar but different issues. They all mirrored each other well.

Content Warnings: sexual trauma, sexual abuse, generational trauma
Currently Reading: Lawless Spaces by Corey Ann Haydu
I'm liking this so far. I'm actually close to 80% done now. I do feel like the poetry is really weird and the odd spacing messes with the flow for me. I guess I'm just used to Ellen Hopkins's novels in verse.
