A growing up story, full of discovering family secrets. I loved the theater background to it all--and her grandmother was a fascinating character.
Overall, I was very lukewarm about it--at times, Beatrice is incredibly annoying. Her first-person voice got very annoying at times, especially since it was written as if she was looking back on one pivotal summer. So she didn't sound like she was 20 even as she was acting as if she was 20, which was almost jarring.
