a short, but moving, coming of age novel that i really enjoyed! i especially loved and connected to annie’s strained and complicated relationship with her movie. i’m excited to read more from the author.

small and easy to read. the book was interesting and I really liked Annie's character, even when she was being 'difficult'.

i really enjoyed this book, it felt so realistic and sad, and the way we feel annie john grow up through the book, and her feelings evolve as she ages is really sad & beautiful, the ending felt really full circle.
