A solid follow up to [b:Stepping Stones|42424403|Stepping Stones|Lucy Knisley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1570320411l/42424403._SX50_.jpg|66131366]! This one is more focused on love and relationships. Jen wonders why friendships have to change when its a boy and girl involved. She isn't interested in dating or boys or kissing at all, when everyone expects her to be. I like that she was able to maintain her friendships through the book even when the going got tough. I'm also hoping the bully turns around since they seem to have drawing in common.

Jen has to adjust to a new school. Challenges lay ahead. She gets some support from the librarian who puts the right book in her hands. She also gets a gig at the neighbor's farm, scaring people on the hay ride. I think middle schoolers can relate to Jen and her new experiences.

I think I liked this better than the first—Walter is not part of the action as much, which is probably why.

Really enjoy revisiting these characters! And who doesn't love bodega cats and pumpkin patches? ❤️
Man, Jen's mom's boyfriend is an idiot. I get not being able to connect with all ages but he's downright creepy.
Always love the inclusion of author photos at the end!

I liked it, but it wasn't my favorite. It's a good read for people who aren't interested in dating even when their friends are crazy about it.

Lucy Knisley's graphic novels are such a pleasure to read, and this one is no exception! A relatable story in a beautiful art style.
