Super disappointed

I purchased what was supposed to be in “good” condition but came with no cover. I would not have purchased it had I known.

4.5 stars

MARY JANE by Jessica Anya Blau In the summer of 1975, fourteen year old Mary Jane Dillard is hired as a summer nanny to a precocious five year old girl named Izzy Cones. Mary Jane has been raised in a strict, regimented and conservative household. When she walks into the Cones’ chaotic and messy, and free-spirited home her world and perceptions are turned upside down. This is a great character driven, coming of age story that is relatable, heartfelt and entertaining. I laughed out loud multiple times throughout the story. Topics of addiction, religion, classism and racism are also explored. Overall, an entertaining yet serious coming of age story. Loved it. **Note: I recommend listening to the audiobook; excellent narration by Caitlin Kinnunen and the song at the end was such a treat! Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️

Loved it!

I loved it , especially as a child of the 70s…it’s really great. Happy tears at the end
