3.75 stars, really.
This book contains about 5 or 6 years of diary entries made by the author from when she was a pre-teen through high school during the early to late 70's. It was so interesting to read some of her entries because they were humorous and also gave a lot of historical events too here and there. We see her struggles as she finds herself and doesn't know who she is or what she is going to be. We see her falling in and out of love and even dating a guy for about two years the she doesn't even love, while not giving into pressure. She talks a lot about her longing to do right and her search for God. Her best friend and her have such a great relationship throughout the book too (the boy next store). She talks a lot about her longing for her parents' approval, her issues with friends, and her love for horses. It was really a sweet book to read. It was real life!
I read this book in about 2 days. I didn't think I'd get into it, but I certainly did.
