4.0

Slow-paced coming-of-age novel that deals with multiple aspects of what it is like to grow into a young woman and the expectations that come along with that and how family relationships can shift through out that span. Made me reflect on my relationships and how I view my younger self. Would highly recommend when going through any big but drawn-out life change.
