Good Girls Don't by Mara Wilson
emotional
sad
2.5
It's clear that Wilson made conscious decisions about what to share and what to keep private. While I understand and respect this, I was left with a lingering sense of curiosity and a desire to know more about the nuances of her experiences.

Tom Lake wasn't a quick read, but it was the kind that seeps into your soul. With each page, I fell deeper into Lara's family, longing to feel the sun on my skin and dirt under my fingernails as I joined them in the orchard!
The novel was a cherry flavor gentle unfolding of stories, that helped me savor each character and connection.
