This book is brilliant, but if you aren't prepared for an unflinching story of a hard life of a girl who has been plagued by SV her whole life, I'd recommended not reading it until you are.

Start was really slow and disorganised, should have been edited to be chronological rather than jumping. Ending was really good, saved the book.
