Yep, I liked this one. Especially the last 80/100 pages.

What I like most about Paul Tremblay’s book is that he manages to create the narrator perfectly. Mary is crafted into a young girl we have all known: goofy, stubborn, annoying, inquisitive, and seeking the approval and attention of her older sister and parents. Now an adult, Mary recounts the story of her life for the first time to a biographer in what will be a cathartic and illuminating experience.

Very much enjoyed the storytelling of this book. The present day entries were less captivating, but did pull it together at the end.
