book review: heart berries

Heart Berries: A MemoirHeart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

it is too lyrical and deep in emotion, it feels heavy reading it and i think i can get a bit depressed through it. perhaps these are the intentions of the author. perhaps i misunderstood the summary and was expected something completely different and was not expecting a life of hardships and abuse. i could not empathise with the protagonist, although i really want to. i just wish she could just step up her life and leave this man who is abusing her emotionally already. but if this is based on a real life, i believe it is not as easy as it seems.
