This book, with the girl in tall rubber boots on the cover, had attracted me when it first came out. When I found it in the "Little Library" for free, I snatched it up. I was totally enjoying the beginning of the book, where the 14-year old narrator describes her summer, when the story ended. It's actually a collection of short stories where some of the characters reappear. The author has a very wry sense of humor and her descriptions are insightful and funny.
It's been awhile since I finished it, but I recall thinking that I would like to read it again. The humor is often self-effacing and really elucidates the thinking of a 14-year old. If I take it up again, I'll write more. I'm not remembering enough to really describe my reactions right now...
