Speak

Narrator is quite emotionally self aware. They just know exactly how they feel (or can communicate in unique ways that they aren't quite sure how they feel, which is equally as important). at the same time, the writing itself felt boring and childish. If you opened up a journal of a thirteen year old girl, I feel like it's be more invested in plot than some of this. Just so much of what I ate and this class was boring/we talked about science or i sat and watched this. Like I don't need a play by play of your day. That's what vlogs are for. Ultimately, I think this would've been easier to emotionally connect with when I was younger.

Also would like to add that whenever moments felt emotionally intense or raw, it was undercut by dry statements. I mean, our narrator is forced into a janitors closet with her rapist (who proceeds to grope and threaten her) and the next page we're just in art and we've passed by all the rumors and reactions to the event?
