A very interesting story. It was intriguing to hear from her perspective. I think it’s hard to rate a memoir as far as content. But it was well written and well narrated.

Thank you to NetGalley for the audio version of this book!

First of all I am a huge true crime girl so I know this case well. I was so curious to listen to this and see if there was anything new to learn. Gypsy herself narrates this and I was worried her voice would bother me. But to my surprise it didn’t at all and I actually enjoyed the fact that she did it herself. It made it more relatable for the listener. I did learn some new things about this case. And in general I relent enjoyed listening to this book.

It’s not often that I read memoirs, but when I do it’s typically because I’m invested into that person or their life. I’ve followed Gypsy-Rose’s journey for years, and when I was presented with the opportunity to listen to this I couldn’t help but apply. There is something so poetic about the subject of a memoir being the narrator of their own story. Listening to Gypsy-Rose tell more of her story, so vulnerable and raw was emotion provoking for me. I dislike the idea of rating a memoir, because it feels inappropriate to rate someone’s life or livelihood - but I’m rating this one for the sake of receiving an arc but also, because the audiobook was put together so well and Gypsy-Rose told her story so beautifully. The world has portrayed Gypsy in many lights over the last few years, so it’s refreshing to hear her story from her mouth.

Thank you so much Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, and Netgalley for my arc of My Time to Stand.
