The smartest thing this book does is to keep past events in the present tense. That way we really get a look into the mindset of a victim of a parent's abuse without having to reconcile each moment with “but actually.”
Thoroughly interesting and well written, but it can absolutely horrifying if you are sensitive to depictions of child abuse. I suppose we should all be sensitive to that thing.
