I found Julia so frustrating for most of this book. She was just so negative and unlikeable! Obviously, this was intentional, and given her circumstances, it's understandable, but it still made the book a less enjoyable read for me. Not that it was all bad though - especially in the latter half, it was relieving to see her finally start to communicate her feelings/thoughts with adults.
