Assigned reading for a British Modernist Literature class. Wasn't the worst assigned reading I've had to drudge through. 

The adults in this novel suck. I definitely feel bad for poor Maisie, but I think in the end she is able to make the smarted decision for herself. I understand that the point of the novel is the exhibit childhood innocence and naivety in growing up, but I feel like she remained far too positive for too long. That could be on me. 

Probably would not have read if not assigned, but now I can say that I have.
