A stronger fit when you want an easier entry point for younger audiences. Good starting point if you want a lighter reading lane for younger readers. When you want lush descriptive writing, the intimate voice creates trust, drawing you close to a narrator who admits faults and puzzles openly.
Maybe skip if...
Lower fit if you want a demanding adult pacing profile. Lower fit if you want heavy conceptual depth for younger readers. If lyrical digressions lose you, the cast spans generations, asking for investment in many lives and timelines.
