Mom knows best

Yesterday I bought a copy of that immortal middle-school classic, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. I told G she would love it, but she was underwhelmed by my endorsement, so I (re)read it myself and then left it on her bedside table in case she changed her mind.

Just now, I went in to see if she was asleep, and found her deep into the book, reading by flashlight.

"This is pretty good," she informed me.

Yes, yes it is!

I keep hinting at books I think she'll like, but she doesn't ever trust my opinion anymore. Maybe I'll have to try your idea and just borrow it for myself and let her pick it up.
