One Whole and Perfect Day by Judith Clarke
5.0
The book was very interesting. I felt like it kind of explained certain insecurities that girls and boys struggle with.
I enjoyed going through Lily's journey to find out her family isn't so messed up after all. The conflict between Lonnie and Pop is eye opening in the way of pointing out the importance of talking to someone and understanding why they are doing what they are doing. What they are going through. Lonnie just wasn't sure about what he wanted to do, so he kept dropping out, but everyone assumed he was too lazy to complete his courses.
Pop had been thought of as racist when really he didn't understand the ways of other cultures. He was too shy to show his unclean teeth to a Chinese dentist because he believed them to be clean and tidy. His teeth didn't show that.
I enjoyed how Lily would struggle with understanding how to deal with boys. She began to turn to magazines that would supposedly show her how to get a boy to notice her, how to look prettier, etc..
Overall I really enjoyed the story and the big build up to Pop's eightieth birthday party.
