4.5
Color me impressed to know that Sagan wrote this at such a young age. I found myself smirking already at the first few pages when the narrator reflects on how unattractive people make her uncomfortable. It's a short and quick read with a lot ideas to digest.
Moderate: Alcohol, Death of parent, and Car accident
