4/5 stars
Not my usual read, but I enjoyed it much more than I have other realistic fiction coming of age stories. 
The characters were loveable, the story was entertaining, and the switching between the past and future was very fluid. 
Going into this book I wasn't sure what to expect, and I'm glad I gave it a shot!

This wasn't much like what I expected so I was a bit disappointed, and I also felt like the pacing and plot structure could have been better, but other than those things, this book is alright.

Don't go into this thinking it's gonna be scary or very plot driven, it's more of a reflective character driven story.
