And Both Were Young by Madeleine L'Engle

5.0

I adored this book when I was younger and am pleased to find that it stands up to a reread—stands up to a listen, even, and I've never been one much for audiobooks. Some of it's a little dated, as you might expect (I don't think contemporary YA heroines are so ready to be scolded by their teachers for feeling left out), but I love it for tackling complicated subjects and not having unnecessary drama thrown in by 'mean girls' and for overall feeling like with a few tweaks it could be contemporary and any of these characters could more or less come to life.
