June 29, 2025this book has zero reviews and that makes me sad. i can be special now and write the first one!!! yes that is how bored i am even though it is the summer and i probably should not be.
I got this book for free from a bookstore during an easter event (while on vacation!). i was happy to get a free book, but the setting/experience didn't captivate me at first ("southern childhood" if you're still confused), but after reading the first few chapters, i found it interesting. not much "plot-wise" happened but the way the author described each event made them interesting to read. however, i will say that some events/stories were cut short, and i was wishing there was more to read. do i sound professional yet? yeah i'm done now. hello people who read this book slash review in the future
