Ode to My First Car by Robin Gow

4.5

I really loved how this was written in verse and the format of this how it was written in “odes” broken into four parts: odes to her car, odes to African violets, odes to her future, and odes to this July. I love how this really only took place over the span of one month and how much the main character grew and learned in that time. I especially loved the relationship with Lena, the old woman at the nursing home, and who she was to Claire.
