![]() ![]() Like most memoirs, this one does have chapters and headings, but what Heart Berries does differently is that it isn’t a neatly edited and cohesive narrative of the author’s life. I was not expecting the book to get so grim, but that didn’t stop me from devouring every word. Heart Berries is a devastatingly beautiful memoir of Mailhot’s experience with a traumatic break-up, mental illness, and growing up on an Indian Reservation. My experience reading Heart Berries was the latter. There are two things that people generally experience when they read memoirs: either you relate to their experiences or you gain a new perspective. Not that I don’t enjoy novel anymore, my Gemini rising and venus is just super nosy. Since I’ve entered adulthood, I’ve noticed that I’ve been reading less fiction and more memoirs and self-help type of books. ![]() ![]() “When you told me that I want too much, I considered how much you take.” ![]()
