4.0

A vividly drawn portrait of a young girl on the verge of adulthood and her first dance, and all the daydreams and heartbreaks that come along with it. Technically, this is limited in scope but it captures Olivia's thoughts and feelings so perfectly that it feels expansive. Lehmann's writing sweeps you up and carries you along with Olivia and I just felt for her so deeply.
