I had to read it for school, and the triggering content made it difficult to finish and process. The complete lack of quotation marks and rarely used paragraph breaks was too tricky to get used to. At least the book led to lively class discussions, so that's something in its favor.

It was a short book, and I often feel like things are rushed or characters aren't fully fleshed out in a 200-ish page book, but the author did a great job. I felt like I really knew the characters, and nothing felt overly rushed.
I listened to the audiobook, and thought both narrators did an extremely good job, I highly recommend the audio version.
