I also expected more gory and gross descriptions of trauma cleanings. Instead, I was given a compassionate and empathetic reflection on the human condition, what it means to be connected, and what can happen to us if we lack connection with other people.
Honestly I think this book was more beautiful than I could appreciate.
There was definitely some language regarding gender that some people might find dated. But I trust that the author, in working so closely with Sandra, reflected Sandra's experience of herself in a way of which Sandra would approve.
I also could have used some sort of warning before the fairly graphic description of Sandra's experience of sexual assault, but I've come not to expect content warnings in books more than a couple years old at this point.

artemisienne's review against another edition
many reviews i've seen also say that they were put off by the author's gushing for the subject. i noticed this, and i, too, was put off. until the end, when i realised: if this were my friend i was writing about, if i had the luck to write a book about my courageous, amazing friend who has been through so much and deserves such publicity, i would publicly gush too. i would talk about how incredible my friend was for surviving so much, for succeeding despite the incredible odds against her, and for continuing to give so much back to the world. sandra is not a perfectly likable person. she's human, like all of us, and she's bound to have a few faults. but she has been through things no person should go through, and has come out of it relatively okay. good, even. so i'll excuse a bit of gushing on the author's part. i would 100% do the same myself.
