I had so much fun listening to this book. It is a total delight. It is a bit of a send up or maybe subversion of the western genre and I loved it. I loved the characters and the story. It is so wholesome while still having, well, grit. Portis captures the voice of a teen girl so well. There is fun. There is drama. I really liked this one.
