Reasons to read this book:
1. The format is a series of lists written by Annie, the main character.
2. The format actually works well and conveys the personality of Annie.
3. Connecting to quiet Annie is easy as her character is so real and true to what a middle grade student can be like.
4. Small town aches and pains are accurately portrayed with enough storyline to keep you engaged without over the top drama.
5. I love Annie’s incredible memory which she tries to hide to appear normal.
