What is the author's style in Mr. and Mrs. Bo Jo Jones by Ann Head?

Author Ann Head uses a variety of techniques to render a realistic portrayal of a young teen telling her story. July demonstrates contradictory opinions and ambivalent feelings about people and situations. Her friend Rodney is annoying one moment and the life of the party the next, for one example. Another example is July's frequent arguments with Bo Jo, in which rage can turn to regret and sorrow in an instant. Her thought process seems fairly unfiltered; though not approaching a modernist "stream of consciousness," there is nonetheless an attempt to mimic the sometimes chaotic, irrational thought processes a young woman put under great stress might go through.
