Absolutely Normal Chaos

Book #46
Absolutely Normal Chaos
by Sharon Creech
"Thirteen-year-old Mary Lou grows up considerably during the summer while learning about romance, homesickness, death, and her cousin's search for his biological father."

4 stars
June 22nd to June 23rd - 2 days - 230 pages

Notes:
(Not good or bad, just things I noticed or thought about while reading.)

The word "Niftiest" was used.
The 90's still don't seem like such a long time ago, but I suppose they kinda are at this point. And I guess this book is getting a little dated then. It's almost 20 years old. (1990.)
