I guess it's a masterpiece in my eyes.”

    “I chose this book because my family planned a LONG train ride. I was surprised to find her on the shelves of adult literature and decided to give it a shot. The book was so good, I put it down only to collect my emotions. I think Blume captured the major charactr wonderfully. I really felt like I knew her.”

    “I loved this book. It's one of my favorites. I love that Blume is open and straight forward with her characters. She makes them so real you either think...wow...this character is so much like me...or someone I know.”
