pickThis was a soft pick for me. The story of 2 preteen girls who spend summers together at their parents‘ lake cabins. They wrestle w typical feelings about growing up the summer they start to change from kids to women. It made top 10 banned book lists for being sexually explicit despite having 0 sex scenes (there is a preoccupation w the idea of sex that accompanies puberty: a discussion about blow jobs, a fascination w a pregnant 18 yr old in town)
