High School Is Very Intense For Everyone.

It's Different To Read A Book For Pleasure Than To Read It Analytically. In The Past, I'd Read Pride And Prejudice For Pleasure. This Time, I Was Really Looking At The Structure, The Order Of Events, How The Characters Interact With Each Other And How The Book Is Paced.

..and I Thought How Liking A Boy Was Just The Same As Believing You Wanted To Know A Secret - Everything Was Better When You Were Denied And Could Feel Tormented By Curiousity Or Loneliness. But The Moment Of Something Happening Was Treacherous. It Was Just So Tiring To Have To Worry About Whether Your Face Was Peeling, Or To Have To Laugh At Stories That Weren’t Funny.

If You’re A Parent In 2013, You Have To Get Your Hands On This Book. Wise, Engrossing, And So Real That I Fear Senior Has Been Spying Inside My House, All Joy Is A Must-read For Those Of Us Whose Lives Have Been Enriched And Derailed By Having Kids.

This Was As Good As It Got.
