Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta

3.0

Looking for Alibrandi is the epitome of a 'coming-of-age' novel. It tackles many issues that teens face today such as cultural integration, identify, religion, careers, depression, and so on. Quite a beautiful novel. Josephine comes off a annoying to many but she has this youthful arrogance to her that we all had at her age. And I think the true winners in this book are the relationships. Josephine's relationship with her Nonna, and her Mama, her relationship with Micheal Andretti (her dad), her rough-yet-sweet relationship with Jacob Coote, her gentile one with John Barton. With Lee, Sera, and Anne.

SO MANY BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIPS!!!

Definitely recommending this:)
