sareasley 's review for:

Absolutely Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick

3.0

---

I feel like the author was going for kind of a Stars Hollow thing with the adorable New England town full of kooky characters with weird names, but the quirk felt "off" with the protagonist being so serious. The whole story was very, very tame, even for middle grade; it's basically just about life getting slightly better over a period of weeks for Truly (with some setbacks), and also there is a scavenger hunt?
