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.

 This was a really beautiful reflection on the intricacies of growing up as a girl. I feel like so many of us have related to both Rose and Windy at different times in our lives. The art style and the language work in so many subtleties that really shook up my subconscious. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while.
