This is a lovely book, I wish I had books like this growing up, it was a delightful read, quite charming, and the protagonist reads like a child, without being annoying. The final twist was predictable, but maybe because U am familiar with the genre and I am not the demographic. Still, quite a good book, I recommend it.

This is my second time reading this, however, the first time I read this was when I was in sixth grade. (which was 4-5 years ago LOL)

Tbh, would def be a five stars if my standards for what I rate five stars wasnt super strict.
This book really felt like we were watching what the world is like from a twelve years old perspective, it really brought me back to middleschool
Hard to put down, and was SO interesting. it felt quick to read since the chapters were really short
I love the family dynamics shown, especially Miranda and her mother and the two of them with Richard
I love the formatting, too good.
The writing feels so real, and really paints a picture in your head of the scenery.

LOVE THIS BOOK TBH
