I still have mixed feelings about this book and the characters, but the writing was so good. It was both sad and hopeful at the same time. A very well done coming of age story.

With a protagonist too sweet by far, Mary Jane is a fun coming of age story that's critique of the liberal adults never loses sight of their goodness.
