I haven't read it yet (it's on my shelf), but the description reminds me a lot of Educated by Tara Westover

Tara captured her inner child voice perfectly imo. She was able to write it as an adult but use the perspective she had as a child and that was very impressive to me. Educated and glass castle were both tough reads but they really resonated with me and helped me.

Very similar, though Tara is a better writer.

It's been a while since I read The Glass Castle, but I think Walls' writing style was appropriate for the story she was trying to tell. It started from a child's perspective with a sense of immediacy.
