To be fair, I don't normally read memoirs unless I know of the person and/or the content relates to me. Neither is the case here.
This First Impression went from dull to way too much in a blink. Roughly the first dozen pages describe a dinner party, and I was bored. Then suddenly we're getting intimate detail from a sexually adventurous fourteen-year-old. And, finally, we have the lead into the teen's mother making her an accomplice in a planned affair. This is all written in first person, so we feel like we're there with the author as a teenager.
The writing is fine, but the topic is not one I care to explore.
