I've never read a book that so accurately captures what it's like growing from girl to teenager and desperately wanting to be a grown-up, but you also just never want your childhood to end. I want to hug all the women and girls in this book forever. Contrary to almost every other review, I love that "nothing happened". Nothing was supposed to happen. And I love it for it.
