It was hard for me to get into the book. It was an easy read. I liked the first person style. It reminds me to consider the emotions of feelings of another before reacting to their behavior.
I liked the aunt right off. I did no like the response when Chris and another boy held Julie down for Danny to kiss her. Boys being boys, and "it's a man's world." As if women / girls have no rights. My current job may also play a bias into the situation. If I remember right Aunt Cordelia did apologize for her initial reaction.
My favorite part...was when Julie commented that anyone who didn't like Jane Austin was immature.
Over all, I liked the book. It is a reminder that not only life shapes us, but our choices, and how we feel about ourselves.
