This book was insanely mediocre. All summer 70's vibes and no real plot/story. It was supposed to be a coming of age story about a young girl Mary Jane, learning how to grow up and escape the very strict household she lives in. However, it just made me feel terrible for our main girl Mary Jane. Not only was she living in this strict overbearing home but she was also forced into this adult position of taking care of a young girl, being surrounded by wildly inappropriate adults, and being thrust into conversations and situations that weren't okay for her. It made me feel uncomfortable with the way Sheba and Jimmy acted around Mary Jane and both of the Cones'. Overall, it was just uncomfy and unsatisfying. However, the writing was great and Izzy was ADORABLE!
