I‘ll be honest— the author‘s bio set the stage for me to enjoy this as I, too, share a love of Jessica Wakefield‘s exploits! And this has a definite SVU vibe— minus the identical twins but plus a more modern air and much more diversity. It‘s a light rom-com read that is fun. And while main character Grace can be amazingly blind to her friends‘ good intentions, I think that readers will enjoy being reminded of just how annoying infatuation is!
monalyisha In 5th grade, my class had a competition to see who could read the most. I reported my reading to my teacher, noting that I‘d read an SVU book. He saw the page count and how long it‘d taken me and told me that he thought I was LYING! Gosh, he was the worst teacher ever. 2mo
TorieStorieS @monalyisha That is the worst teacher ever!! I had a similar experience reporting pages on one of the Sweet Valley High Saga books in 5th grade— did you also go to elementary school in Illinois?? 🤣 2mo
monalyisha Ha! What a wacky (and sad) coincidence! For the record, I did not. Worcester, MA. 😉 2mo
TorieStorieS @monalyisha That is a sad & strange coincidence! My teacher was called Mr. Grimm— maybe he had some Worcester teacher friends despite being from the Chicago suburbs! 😬 2mo
