This was a wonderful novel about figuring out who you are and telling your story in your own special way. I have been looking forward to it all summer and it was better than I thought it would be. Also I like how there are many relationships in the story, not just romantic ones that you want to keep going.

The Melendy children have nothing to do on their Saturdays, and as everyone knows, Saturday is the best day of the week! They come up with a plan that each Saturday one of the four children get to do whatever they please with their, and their sibling's allowance. From art shows, to concerts, to haircuts, it is an exciting adventure for everyone! My favorite of the children is Randy (Miranda) Melendy. Although old-fashioned, it still carries the thrill of what it's like to be a child.

Good Hamilton background Written from Elizas POV

The running gag of people mistaking one of the girls for a boy because she's called the Prince and nobody bothers to correct them is really cute. Nobody is that fussed about Kashima wearing a boy's uniform or surprised that the other girls like to spend time with her. She's just doing her thing, and the only reason anyone has a problem with her is that she's usually late for her after school activity. The excitement high schoolers would have for a pillow fight where you actually fight was the sort of reaction that would get people in class in trouble.

Interesting, fun, plot twists

I wanted to like this book more, but the two main characters drove me a bit crazy with their indecisiveness.

An amazing family saga that also tackles race in both the Jim Crow south and California and New York in the early eighties.

Loved it! Great summer read. Enjoyed the era is was written about

Well written Doctor drama

I loved this novelization of the Prom and wish we had gotten the chance to see it on Broadway. Great story about a small town learning to be inclusive.
