Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau
Star Rating: ★★★★★
Mary Jane – ah, such a good book. I know there are many coming-of-age stories, but this one is my favorite. Mary Jane, raised in a prim and proper country club member's home, is 14. She takes on a summer nanny job for a neighbor and ends up having an eye-opening summer, discovering other ways of living. It's set in the '70s, and if you're of a certain age, your imagination will be filled with images while reading this great summer novel.
