this book really pulled me in right from the beginning. i feel like im still gathering my thoughts but i absolutely love books that follow characters throughout their life, and it was really interesting how much some of them changed (especially neely). i can def see why this was so revolutionary at the time and i would be so curious to see a modern adaptation
