Relationship status: It's Complicated
Jul 11, 2020 | By Angie Trowbridge
I liked this story, as it reflected the interesting nature of adolescent relationships. I appreciated the element of struggling to find one's identity, as well, although this doesn't come from where you think it will and it adds to the story. The story didn't end nicely tied up into a happy bow, but it gave hope that things would go well beyond where the book stops - I liked that. Good read, and worth having in the classroom library.
