While I normally enjoy Julie Murphy's books, this one was very character-driven. There is nothing wrong with this type of writing, but it is just not my favorite to read. Murphy does a fantastic job crafting each character and I did feel like I "knew" everyone no matter how small their role in the overall story was. The titular character, Ramona, is awkward and quirky, but I did like reading about her life. I am glad I read this book even though I didn't really like it because it made me appreciate Murphy's other stories more.
