What can I say, I love girlhood, coming-of-age stories. I loved Betty and related to her a lot. Sometimes the saddest part of coming-of-age is facing the realities of the world. At times I hated the mom, Flossie, Fraya, the dad, but you understand them, why they are that way. I reread the beginning as soon as I ended and it is definitely something I want to read again in the future.
