challenging emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

I wish I had read this book as a teenager. As an adult, I still consider it an essential read, but this is the diary of a teenage girl, with all the moodiness, conflict, and curiosity that entails. Had I read it as a teenager, I feel like it would have resonated with me in a different way.

It was good, but it went real slow. It was boring in between and sometimes there were entries which meant nothing at all. It was too relatable at times and it felt good that someone, doesn't matter if so many years ago, had opinions like me and who felt like I do at times. A typical teenager. It was good, but not something you would like to re-read or will have fun and real good time reading.
