    I went in thinking it was a memoir and then having to switch up my perspective and read it as fictional. As I said in the forum the time setting kinda put it into a weird place for me, I think it’s patronising in a way to make it so modern readers relate with mobile phones and instagram etc, I understand the want to make it more understandable and relatable but it was just a bit off. I also felt it was slightly shallow because it wasn’t a true memoir it didn’t quite have the emotional depth i was looking for. But overall a sweet little middle grade graphic novel

    I’m slightly confused/less immersed at the minute because it’s unclear if it’s supposed to be memoir/autobiographical because of the updated technology. I know this is to make it more relatable to modern day children but also I’m just unsure of what they’re trying to put across. I think from here on out I’ll just read it as fiction. If you’ve read this how did you read it tone-wise?

    Obviously very early days in how much I’ve read but the prose is eerily similar to Thursday murder club that I had to check which was written first. But also it is old person pov so maybe old people be like that /hj

    Her name is funny by itself but the fact that her twin brother is just named Owen makes it even funnier 😭😂
