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.
