Confronting but positive overall. I LOVED the narrator's voice and all the very valid points she made about intergenerational trauma. It was funny, sweet and graphic with the added bonus that the author read the audio.(Too much sex for younger readers, but honestly portrayed.) Shortlisted for CBCA YA book of the year.
