A review by lbelow
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Otto H. Frank, Mirjam Pressler

challenging emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

I wish I had read this book as a teenager. As an adult, I still consider it an essential read, but this is the diary of a teenage girl, with all the moodiness, conflict, and curiosity that entails. Had I read it as a teenager, I feel like it would have resonated with me in a different way.
