First quarter of the book is hard to read as its narrated in first person as the narrator grows up. Meaning the first quarter of the book is written like a little kid wrote it, which carries the story forward in a sense, but is also incredibly boring to read. I think this book is good for those who are not avid readers and don't expect brilliant prose. I'm rereading this book now as an adult but I will say the first time I read it as a teenager it did make me feel seen and safe, maybe I'm just not the target audience anymore.
