a beautiful, refreshing summer read that transports you to the mid-70s. wonderfully captures the admiration daughters have for their mothers and the nuanced relationship a daughter has with their mum, despite the age-old process of growing up and forging different belief systems.

This is unexpectedly cute and fun, aside from some scary/creepy moments with the adults in the Cone household. The ending is surprisingly touching, though I wish we had gotten to see more moments with Mary Jane and her mom to increase its poignancy.
