This is a coming of age novel written in verse in which Bea wrestles with being "not a girl, and not yet a woman" (name that tune!). This book touches on crushes, family relationships, mean girls, puberty, dealing with embarrassment, and all the other things girls experience as they come into who they are. I think the novel in verse form worked well for this one because you got to explore Bea's inner thoughts.
