Found the book incredibly disturbing especially because its semi-autobiographical. Don't understand why this is such an acclaimed book, the misogyny is astounding.

I can’t lie, this was quite disturbing at many points and I’m sure you’d have been able to read my face during these parts. Though I wouldn’t say any of it is sinister or horrific, just uneasy insight to how things could be during this era in particular. I was as satisfied with the ending as I could have been, though you aren’t really getting a plot so much as a walkthrough of a saddening coming of age.
