What is the author's perspective in the memoir, Easy Beauty?

Because Easy Beauty is Chloé Cooper Jones’s memoir, she writes the text from her own first person point of view. This vantage point is organic to the genre. It also invites the reader into Chloé story and experiences, allowing the reader to witness her most vulnerable feelings and private thoughts. Although Chloé has developed the habit of retreating into “a separated space inside [her] mind” to escape the emotional and physical pain of life, she does not shut the reader out from these more covert spaces (2). Rather, the reader feels that she has been given exclusive access to Chloé’s interiority. In this way, the author is not only welcoming the reader into her life and experience, but making herself vulnerable.
