Can we talk about published memoirs, journals, diaries, etc.? I’m reading one right now that’s pretty damn good and am looking for more!

You might like Know My Name by Chanel Miller! Potentially I’m Glad My Mom Died too. They’re both newer than some you’re reading but so good!

Oh yeah, the memoir by Jeannette McCurdy! One of my friends recommended that book as well, so I’ll definitely read that, I see my local library has the book. And the Chanel Miller book, too. I’ll read both pretty soon 😊 thanks!
