Going into this book I was not sure what to expect, as I do not often read books where the main character is in middle grades. It is the first book in a series about Ginny West and the adventures she goes on while growing up (think Christy Miller Series by Robin Jones Gunn, only geared toward a younger audience. So, the book is filled with real-life examples, valuable lessons, and interesting dialogue between Ginny and her crew of characters. This book deals with Ginny figuring out how to get a new mom and making a packed with her best friend Tilly over how to accomplish this goal. It was cute and a good lesson in second chances, dealing with your emotions and growing up.

I enjoyed this story, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series to learn more about Ginny’s adventures. 4 out of 5 stars for the creative storyline, fun characters, and applicable life lessons.

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

YA or Adult?
I went I went into this book knowing nothing. (I do this for many books from authors I respect). I had read Eleanor and Park and thought I would be getting a simple young adult romance. Boy was I wrong, this book is great for people who are growing up a little. The young adult story is still there but it is complicated by the adult world of marriage and kids and family. Great transition book if you want to start reading more adult fiction.

This book is full of strong female characters. (0 more)
It is set in the South where racial tensions are high and life is difficult for many black people. (0 more)
I read this book quite some time ago and it stayed with me long after finishing. This book is an exceptional book of what it's like to be a black child growing up in the South. I won't mention what the story is so it won't be spoiled in anyway but this is definitely a must read! Please add this to your tbr pile.

Watched another creepy "horror" flick on Netflix called "The Eyes of My Mother". It was in black and white and was in both English and some little Portuguese (though it took place in the US). VERY strange story about a girl growing up in a quietly unhealthy environment and how it affects her. Not really as "scary" as it is mesmerizing to watch. No flash. No fanfare. The story just unfolds in one monotone-ish style, but keeps you watching to see what will happen next. Worth a watch!
