The Girl Who Outgrew the World by Zoje Stage
4.0
Lilly Wolf is an 11 year old girl who is growing at a rapid rate. She's being hounded by press as well as doctors. Throughout it all, her only comfort is her best friend Rain. Her father James is desperate for a cure for his daughter and starts blaming himself. He feels as if he's done something in the past and karma is taking it out on his daughter.
This part of the book shows just how sorrowful James is: Rain, despite of her name, was nothing short of sunshine and James hoped she could do more than brighten Lilly's day. Was it too much to ask a tween Rain to replenish their atmosphere?
Without giving too much away, what I took from this short story is in the end, Lilly finds a place of acceptance and starts a new journey of finally being content.
