I think I first read this when I was the protagonist's age (14) and recall reading it more than once as a teenager. Found it at a book swap recently and thought I'd read it again. Didn't think this book would still make me cry in my 30s! It's definitely for older readers; I recommend it but there is a lot of gut-wrenching stuff around abandonment, abuse, internalised guilt, the search for identity and autonomy - huge trigger warning for suicide in one part. I really feel for the main character.
