A review by toomanyfingees
In Zanesville by Jo Ann Beard

4.0

The beginning of this book failed to draw me in, but I hit a point in it when I just couldn't stop reading. I was suddenly drawn in by the character's struggle at the edge of adulthood. Having been a bit of an outcast myself at that age (still am to tell the truth...), I found myself drawn in by her observations of a 14 year old just beginning to notice the changes in the world around her. Periods suck. Boys suck even more. And being a weirdo can be the thing that saves you and your friends from going crazy. Recommend for every adult who just might have forgotten how much it sucks to be 14.
