julessssss 's review for:
Harriet the Spy
by Louise Fitzhugh
bro when i say i literally hated almost every second of this book, i'm not lying.
Harriet is so insufferable and she does not change one lick throughout the whole story, she just learns she has to apologize and lie to make things better. She can't even sincerely do it. It's disgusting. I don't give a shit if she's 11 years old, I am so angry at her and this goddamn book. Nothing is actually resolved, she's just a bitch, but can lie about it now I guess?
The only character I remotely liked was Ole Golly, she is a queen (and queer coded too). Also, every adult other than her is so incapable of doing anything - they just act so erratic for no reason.
Wouldn't recommend it to adults or children (for that matter), but a child may have an easier time getting through it.
