Part of Dana's review is below:
"Since I can't review it objectively, I'll just tell you what I wanted to write. I wanted to write a funny story. I wanted to write about the frustration of being twelve, and knowing you're being unreasonable but not being able to change how you feel. I wanted to write about sisters and social justice and seeing the world from a new perspective. I wanted to write about new friendships, and judging people before you know them. I wanted to write about a diverse family having an all-American vacation. I wanted to write a story that captures how it feels to be walking on that thin line between kid and teenager, and how that walk can be exhilarating, frustrating, and misery-inducing all in the same day.
Did I succeed? Who knows?
