I think the best way to describe this book is it's insightful in its own, quiet way. Definitely a coming of age story, but I think because of the characters' lifestyle and perspective not everything is relatable. Personally, I've been overly self aware for as long as I can remember, unlike Cecile who is the exact opposite, but I still could empathize with some of her struggles and laugh painfully in understanding as she thought certain things. The ending was definitely... interesting, and not quite what I expected from such a generally-lighthearted-but-melancholy-on-the-inside book, yet somehow it still worked. All in all I don't think it was bad, and I did enjoy a decent chunk of it, however if it was any longer I definitely would've dreaded reading it. Not quite for me but still decent. It only really took me this long because I had other, more interesting, things to read.
