  • Ok so I have a soft spot for “what the fuck” literary fiction. Deranged coming of age for girls fiction is near and dear to me. 
  • I felt this book, viscerally, and sometimes more than I would want. There was relatability to the pain of girlhood, and the very heavy topics were handled interestingly and well. 
  • Gorgeous prose though sometimes a bit try-hard. I’ll be curious to see more by this author. The whole book left me pensive.
