The willingness to write children's books with a little edge drew me to all things Roald Dahl as a child. This book does that so well.

I forgot about this book. I loved this so much. The mother daughter relationship is so riveting to watch. The complex nature plays out throughout the story while the main character learns about herself and how she fits. Definitely recommend, I need to reread this book.
