A review by moirastone

4.0

I loved this almost purely on the strength of Kenya's particular, wise, pained, and questing voice. It's a very fine novel otherwise, one that manages the trick of reporting grown-up events from a child's point of view without resorting to winks or glaring, get-it-GET-IT-type indicating. But the shining accomplishment here is this singular character, a young woman who I found myself wishing again and again had been my friend at age 13, at 17, at 23.
