Just Pretend

I liked but didn't love this. I'm putting it on my Raina Telgemeier readalike list because I think it will appeal to those readers even if they find it a little lacking in depth.

Some of the transitions felt a little rushed or unclear to me. Maybe a blank page or some sort of notation to show the passage of time would have been helpful. I also felt like I kept confusing some of the characters because they looked really similar. And some I just missed altogether! (Who is Beth? Her mom's girlfriend/wife? A babysitter? Unclear.)

Overall, I think older elementary and younger middle school kids will enjoy this.
