Goodreads Best Strange and Twisted Memoirs - 2021 Update, Now 3 Times Longer - Page 2

"Wicked families, strange illnesses and other assorted interesting, odd and compelling issues" (Goodreads)
I don't read many memoirs myself, so I'm not sure whether the Goodreads title & description adequately convey the variety of works on this list.
Typically only books with 4000+ ratings and/or an established publisher were included.
