This was a very cute coming of age novel that addressed issues between mothers and daughters. As a mother to a teenage girl, I was interested to read the daughter's perspective on her relationship with her mother. I'm also a mom who takes a lot of pictures and it never occurred to me that my kids might not enjoy having those memories as much as I do. After reading this book, I'm going to be more mindful of what pictures I share at least, if not what pictures I take.

I like how both sides were able to see where the other was coming from in the end and come to compromises regarding the situations they were in. Sometimes we have to take a step back and put ourselves in the other person's shoes so we can see how our actions are affecting them.

The best part of the book, for me, is how Imogene finally understands the love her mother has for her and the interest in her life. Not everyone has that and it was good that she was able to see it and be grateful for it. I hope my kids see me in that light.
