<spoilers> 
This book was a reflection on the child abuse of a girl in her late teens. A testament to the past and a way to move forward. Unfortunately, my critiscm of this book would be the romanticisation of some aspects (I understand this was from her perspective), as well as the surface level analysis of mental health and sexual abuse. Overall, this was still a very personal journey from the author whose story I would not discredit.
