This is my second time reading this, however, the first time I read this was when I was in sixth grade. (which was 4-5 years ago LOL)
  • Tbh, would def be a five stars if my standards for what I rate five stars wasnt super strict.
  • This book really felt like we were watching what the world is like from a twelve years old perspective, it really brought me back to middleschool
  • Hard to put down, and was SO interesting. it felt quick to read since the chapters were really short
  • I love the family dynamics shown, especially Miranda and her mother and the two of them with Richard
  • I love the formatting, too good. 
  • The writing feels so real, and really paints a picture in your head of the scenery. 

LOVE THIS BOOK TBH
