Reads like an autobiography but it’s fiction.

this was so meh - it probably didn't help that I didn't realise this was a sequel, so it was really annoying when she glossed over things - but that's kind of on me I guess. I also really didn't like the writing style, how she is always reiterating, saying "i mean"...

It was kind of like a middle-aged coming-of-age, which is a cool genre. A little slow and not for me, but I can see why others would like it!
