There is not much to say that has not already been said. I did not read through the book in one sitting, however, it did not take away from the experience of reading the book.
The naive childhood part of the books was very difficult to read, mostly because of how real it felt, how vividly an adult can recall their childhood memories and how it can still haunt ones mind. This was a sign of good writing, one that personally made me uncomfortable maybe because of how much there is a need to suppress any memories or traits of childhood naiveté and how well it was portrayed here. I enjoyed how I personally grew together with Jennette, in a way that the reader is introduced to a new time period by the difference and the change in writing. The way how slowly naivete became frustration, anger and in the end it all became clear - no illusions, no doubts and you are introduced to a very rational, sound mind space of Jennette.
