To say I loved this book would be an understatement. To date this is one of my favorite coming of age novels I have ever read. I found myself absolutely engrossed in the story and the characters. Mary Jane lived the summer most 14 year olds wish they could and I found it to not only be a nostalgic but inspiring read. Definitely one I will read again!
