♥Milica♥'s Reviews > The First 20 Years of My Life, In the FLDS

Normally I'd give this a three star rating for the writing, but I'm feeling very lenient today, so I'm sticking with a four.

Yes, it was repetitive in parts, and it's novella length so it doesn't have that much story, but considering this is her first book, the fact that she didn't have a formal education, and her age when she published this, it's really not that bad.

I've read FLDS memoirs from people who are older than Jenelle, and who already left by the time Warren Jeffs was arrested (they helped bring him to justice), so it was interesting seeing what life was like on the inside with him gone.

I could relate to Jenelle too, some of the insecurities she deals with I do as well, even if I grew up "on the outside". I really hope she's doing well in her life now, I wish her nothing but the best and I thank her for sharing her story with us.
