Even though this book is very sad and unfinished, it is one of the only novels in journal form that I enjoyed. I, like many other people, read this book in junior high. However, I, unlike many of the people with whom I went to school, liked this book. Even though it was sad, junior high is the perfect time to read it because she was about the same age. She was going through the same changes and emotions that girls at the junior high level were going through, and I think that makes it easier for us to understand her. She was a remarkable young woman who met a tragic death during a very dark time in world history. I think all young women should read this book because it is an amazing comparison from life for a young adult during the 30's to how young adults live today.
