This is a follow-up to Durable Goods and it is equally delightful. It takes Katie from Texas to Missouri and her figuring out how to fit in in her new environment. She falls for a young man much older than she is, and the way this romance unfolds is very real and sweet. I could relate to her thinking! Thank goodness this young man was extremely sensitive and kind. When I fell for older young men at this age, I never let it develop into anything. I would admire from afar. It was fun to watch Katie move toward what she wanted, even though it was clearly beyond her. She had real adolescent thoughts and feelings that were described with empathy and soft humor. So good!
I also loved how Katie learned about friendship and how her friendship with Cynthia developed. And it was awesome that she had a friend in her father's friend Ginger, who turned out to be a soft landing for Katie. Another very enjoyable, relatable read! Thank you, Elizabeth Berg!!!
