I loved this novel, I‘m so glad to have read it, and I‘m glad to have read it now, as a seasoned adult. I‘m sure had I read it in high school I would have been impatient with Lily and her seemingly ridiculous choices. I was always too full of assurance and hard edges when I was young to be able to find the softer sweetness of this novel. Cheers to skipping the classics until we are classics ourselves!! 🥂
