I read this book a long time ago, and I am digging up old books I read as a preteen/teenager so I wanted to mark them on my goodreads while I read it.
This book was deep for me at the time, with a bittersweet ending that left me very sad but thoughtful. I really enjoyed this book and it was a good look into how growing up can mean different things for different people...and that's okay.
