This is very much not a book I would normally read but I really enjoyed it! I needed a book set in 1970 for one of the book challenges I’m doing and this one sounded the most interesting out of the ones I could find! I really loved Mary Jane and I think she was a great narrator for this story! Getting to see her come of age in an environment that was so much different than her normal was really beautiful in the most messy way and I feel like that’s what growing up is like, no matter what time period you come of age in. There were a few parts that were a little slow and had me zoning out a bit but overall this was a really solid read
