Author Book Review - Raised by Wolves, Possibly Monsters

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Change is real and possible; it really is. I am living proof.”
My final read of the year! And this time around, it’s a memoir that I wasn’t quite sure I was going to finish when I first started it if I’m honest (the trigger warnings are certainly triggering.) It’s a hard read, I’ll not lie, but it’s raw, it’s honest and I really appreciated Michael’s courage in sharing his story. With so many horrific experiences and so many reasons to judge and to hate, not many people would. Very happy to be sharing my review of Raised By Wolves, Possibly Monsters!...
