3.5
A coming-of-age tale with some sprinkled in family drama and rampant sexism. I felt a bit unresolved at the end (though I suppose that’s the point), and I didn’t have positive feelings towards the main character. I would’ve liked to see more of the other characters’ storylines expanded upon.
Graphic: Sexism
Moderate: Miscarriage and Rape
