I had such high expectations for this book, and it exceeded them. I love and adore this. It just felt like a warm hug. Anne's journey is something we can all relate to. It actually made me a little sad to read about a child growing up and becoming a teenager, especially the changes. It is relatable, but reading or seeing it from another perspective was different. Throughout the book, I felt like a mother not wanting her child to grow up too fast.
