    This book was entertaining. I liked how it had a dialogue of different characters throughout. I also liked the setting and plot, it was unique and I appreciated that. Overall pretty solid.

    This book was very entertaining and interesting. I listened to the dramatized audiobook and it was done so so so well. Made the story really come to life. I am excited to see where this series goes.

    Wow, the dramatized adaptation of this audiobook is insane. Like a movie in my head📽️🎞️✨

    I really did not like this book. Almost DNF multiple times but pushed through it. The concept of meeting your mom at the same age as you is interesting but this book did not explore that in the way I wished it would. I would not recommend.

    This book is beautifully written and deeply intimate. Loved the vulnerability of the book but I did feel it was a bit repetitive.

    This was such a great book. Just overall really solid. I understand now why this is a classic. Such a good story on resilience, growing up, and overcoming adversity. Fell in love with Francie and her family although they were frustrating at times.
