This continuation of Cannie Shapiro's life and adventures is another great read by Weiner. As a reader, I totally related with Cannie as well as her daughter Joy - Weiner develops her characters well and you can really get into their mind sets! I laughed (really LAUGHED), I cried and I realized that the lessons Joy learns in this book are good ones for all of us to embrace and remember - adults, youth, male, female alike.
