4.0

A -mainly- cute and emotional read. Some of the commentaries in the book are still relevant today and, at times, it felt like it was written not that long ago. They were very cute and I think the development of their relationship was realistic, at least regarding my experience.

3.5

3.5 star rating based on my enjoyment. 

I'm usually able to enjoy books that are geared towards younger readers despite no longer being the intended audience, but I think this is one of those times where it did hinder my enjoyment of the story. But still, I did appreciate this book and I think it's an important one for people to read, especially the intended audience. Even though there are more resources today than in 1982, this could still be a reassuring book for young girls who might be struggling with their sexuality. This was very well written and still holds up well today.
