4.0

A very nostalgic read that continues to carry Wilson's voice. In many ways the youthful spirt of her books does ring true in real life and I felt that the messiness of adulthood is treated in a way that does mirror parts of reality, especially parts that we often find difficult to discuss even with our closest friends. Think again is a book that depicts the non-picture perfect book we live outside if social media, and shows how we can still grow and form our sense of self as we age without having to let go of our childhood. Parts of the book felt strained in its plot and certain characters unbearable while others I wanted to learn more about, but Wilson still manages to capture the messiness of life while making sure the reader know they are not alone.
