Luego sigo con la reseña.

“There can’t be anyone, I’m sure, who doesn’t know what it feels like to be disliked, even rejected. Momentarily or for sustained periods of time”

Favorite character: Claudia and her sister Frieda.

Least favorite character: Cholly and Pauline.


Read as part of Book Riot's 2017 Read Harder Challenge Task 17. Read a classic by an author of color.
