Charlie had been grieving the loss of her mother for several years now, and also, her father's emotional absence. This holiday visit to her grandparent's should have been even sadder than the last, as it was the first since her grandmother's death, but the neighbor, Rose, who had largely ignored Charlie for over a decade started up a friendship with Charlie. Though her initial reasons were less than altruistic, it may have been the start of a beautiful friendship.
Things I loved:
• Dear sweet Dave
• The adorable romance between Dave and Charlie
• Charlie's songs
• The musical references!
• Mom flashbacks *tears*
• Granddad
• Dad's wakeup call
• Snakebite!
• Rose was a STEM girl
• The focus on friendship from all sides
I greatly enjoyed my summer holiday with Rose, Charlie, and the rest of the bunch. There was a lot of growth and healing that happened, and I sort of thing almost everyone was in a better place at the end of it.
