Lindsey Hadden's Reviews > Carry: A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land

2.5 ⭐️. Toni Jensen is a fantastic writer and her stories are captivating, however as a cohesive piece, I felt “Carry” missed the mark.

I hate that I’m giving it this rating because she is so talented and what she has to say is invaluable and eye-opening. The memoir is billed as a collection of essays, but it didn’t read that way, nor did it feel like a full novel. It mostly felt disjointed and I didn’t love the Webster’s dictionary definitions throughout.

The last quarter of the book was the best part and I’m glad I stuck with it. I probably just struggled with the editing. I would definitely read more of Toni Jensen and I’m disappointed by my response to “Carry.” 😞
