Happily ever after isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. This was a great sequel because after Marjorie got what she wanted and needed, she found herself assimilating to fit in with people she thought she should be with at the expense of her real friends and people who shared her values and interests. Even though she was forced to grow up early, she’s still a kid with so much more growing to do.
I love that this book addresses that there is a line between acceptable and unacceptable weird and how it’s very different for black kids than it is for white kids. It also addresses how much harm can be done in silence and how often people are hurting more than we know. Well done.
