lighthearted medium-paced

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Really enjoyed this! This memoir features the author's coming to terms with OCD and anxiety, dental drama, and rocky friendships. It's very rare to see a narrative from someone who was homeschooled, and this one wasn't negative. I remember having the same awkward weird feeling of wanting to avoid telling other kids you were homeschooled lol. The illustrations also fit and aided the story well.
