Review of I Am Kirsty

I think this story hit very hard with me. Having lived a comfortable life with my Partner for almost 11 years we separated and my world came crashing down. I could relate to Kirsty on many levels. Watching her attempt to carry on life as normally as possible for the sake of her 2 daughters was heartbreaking. Having no food in the cupboards nor fridge and living on toast is close to my life now. Her desperation to earn more money and gain more hours at work was something I could relate to also. I loved watching this but was so saddened when she was taken advantage of by a male parent portraying himself to be her friend. The length she went to to get herself out of a terrible situation was horrendous but in the end I felt Kirsty saw life differently. I hope she went on to live a better life, I hope her daughters were more understanding but most of all I hope she survived it all. Great story, written and acted brilliantly
