The further into the book the less I liked it. Plus it’s homophonic. Think I’ll pass on the rest of her stuff .

I can’t stop smiling. 

I hope some High School student somewhere take the ideas in this book and make them real life. 

And it should be a movie.

I devoured this book. It had everything I want in a book. Beautiful writing, compelling story, beautifully curated characters. It was thoughtful and insightful, inclusive and inspiring. I can hope there’s another one coming soon. I want to go back to Shanandoah.
