This was a nice quick little read that was very reflective without being too dense. The themes of childhood and hidden trauma, nostalgia, and how our childhoods affect us are interesting and everyone can find something to relate to when it comes to these topics. I did not appreciate any of the romantic relationships as they were quite problematic (it gave me the ick).
