Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden

slow-paced
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.5

 I've not had the best luck with older YA in the past, but this ended up being a wonderful read. The style is a bit different than more recent YA, but it's still enjoyable. And while certain things have changed, I think their love can be felt and understood regardless of the time. There's a lot that we can unpack in the story and I'm not sure how to do a lot of it without spoilers (or ending up with an essay that no one asked for). This was such an important book in it's time and I think it's one that can continue to impact people in really important ways.
