âPart of being alive is figuring out the balance between what you want, what you need, and what you have with what you donât want, donât need, and donât have.â
A teen from a well-to-do family has parents who only live to keep up appearances. When she takes on a summer job working for a family a bit different from her own, Mary Janeâs world blossoms in the most beautiful of ways. Some serious issues including race, stereotypes, and sexuality are explored in a respectful, and at times, very humorous manner.
âI hadn't understood that people you loved could do things you didn't love. And, still, you could keep loving them.â
Audiobook Warning: many of the characters have a habit of yelling across the room making for tense audio moments. Donât listen to this if youâre trying to put a baby to sleep! Donât get me wrong, itâs a great narration,like, really good. Itâs just loud because it is meant to be. A bonus, however, is that the song mentioned throughout the story is played in its entirety at the end.
Overall Warning: Take a shot every time egg/bird in a nest is mentioned, and you will need your stomach pumped. Youâve been warned
