Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead

4.0

Nicely-written, enjoyable story that touches on a lot of hot-button issues in a very authentic, believable, and non-preachy way. So much is packed into this book that it could have failed epically in the hands of a less capable author, but I think Stead does a great job of capturing how this point in life feels. When you think about it, part of what makes it so confusing is all of the new understanding that begins to dawn as a person leaves childhood behind. I really liked the strong core story of female friendship.
