A review by cozylittlebrownhouse
Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden

4.0

I have not read a great deal of GLBTQ lit (only Jeanette Winterson's works), but I thought this book was amazingly powerful at conveying the love that develops between two teenage girls during a time when being homosexual wasn't nearly as accepted as today. Our world still has a LONG way to go in terms of tolerance, patience, and acceptance, but a few of the issues that arise in this story regarding the school atmosphere probably wouldn't be addressed today (I am not going to ruin plot points) because of more people standing up for the rights of others. I rooted for Annie and Liza the entire book; you can read it to find out what happens.
