I have read this book

I really liked this book.I read it quicker than I thought I would as I was into the book so much.It is about a girl who just turned twelve years old.She writes about what happens to her in a month of her life.This book contains of both happy and sad moments.This book is mostly based on family and some friends.I felt like this book could have been a bit longer but it was still a great book.My favourite character is Nana Josie.Even though she was going through hard times ,she didn’t get too emotional and was happy that she was with her family.She is the person who loves everything to be special and decorative(she loves art).I would recommend this book for people who are over eleven or twelve.Overall,it was such a fantastic book and I rate it a five stars.
