2.5
lighthearted medium-paced
Interesting at times, but self-absorbed even for a memoir.  I think this could have been left as diary entries.

mysterious medium-paced

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
I'm always annoyed when a mystery constantly brings up "what happened that night" through the whole book. Obviously a mystery is going to hold back information, but it's obnoxious to repeatedly refer to "the incident that changed everything". 

Especially when in this case it honestly could have said that Daisy was dead from the start! She could have still been a ghost worried about her family being murdered with very little changes to the story. Though tbh I was not thrilled by the supernatural twist, so 🤷🏻
