Smith has clearly honed her craft when it comes to character. Maybe Swing Time was an attempt at doing something different with plot. I found it frustrating that the narrator is slightly obsessed with her childhood friend Tracey, yet we never actually hear from Tracey.
Moderate: Death of parent and Sexual assault
