Where You See Yourself
by Claire Forrest
A joyous, heartfelt novel with a sweet romance woven in. I found myself cheering (and tearing up a few times) as Effie, a high school senior from Minnesota, navigates friendships, a major crush, school activities, parents who step in when they should let her speak up for herself - and finding not just an ideal college on the academic side but one that will be accessible as well.
It's been, oh, 35 years since I've been a high school senior but I do remember the joys and challenges of that year and I think Forrest has perfectly captured what it feels like to be at that place in life in this coming of age story. A must-read for anyone in high school, especially students who are about to start applying to colleges.
I so loved this novel
*note - this book will be especially fun to read if you are from Minnesota and the lovely city of Minneapolis as there are many references to the city and state. And, for those who (like me) live in Northfield it will be extra fun to read about Effie's visit to the fictional Cannon River College in the not-fictional town of Northfield.
