The Monster That Ate My Mommy by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Christine Taysom

The Monster That Ate My Mommy by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had a huge interest in this book due to my own trauma in my childhood and while this book is heavy it was such a cathartic read. My inner-child struggled along with her retelling of her trauma but she also felt such a kinship with the author’s growth. The need for validation and love and accepting them in unhealthy ways is something I related with. Her resilience and strength though are so powerful that it left a lasting impression. I cried along as I read through some of her darkest moments but I also felt the power and strength of her resolving her trauma. This was such a good book and I can’t recommend it enough!
