Old Enough was a beautiful book. I resonated and connected with this book in more ways than one. I finished the book feeling so seen. It was a gorgeous mix/balance of love, lighthearted jokes, complicated friendship dynamics, the journey to embracing your full self, and coming to terms with hard experiences. Haley Jakobson did an amazing job writing the experience of growing into yourself while simultaneously growing out of relationships and routines that no longer suit you. Friendship dynamics and toxic patterns are so nuanced and complex and Savannah's journey navigating these is extremely relatable. I loved this book and I wish I could read it for the first time again!
