Someone remind me not to try to add goodreads reviews on my phone that are longer than one sentence! I'm always about a paragraph in when the app closes and I lose my review. :(
Anyway, this book should be read, not listened to. It is told through emails, letters and journal entries which I normally enjoy in a book, but it was quite annoying to have to hear " [date}, {time} to . . . Re: . . ." for one or two word responses over and over again. This book also featured and alternative high school named "Quarme" which almost always sounds like the narrator is saying "queer." I wonder if it is unstatedly on purpose.
Overall, an interesting story about a teenage girl deciding (without really looking to) what is actually important in life. It captures how confusing these years are for most youth. Also, I saw how harmful checked out parents are. One of my soapbox issues: just because a person is adult-sized, it does not mean they are an adult.
