there are a few books i’ve read after a few years and seen in a different light. for example prep by curtis sittenfeld was one of my favorites in 9th grade because i loved the school drama aspect and was also a kid way too stuck in my head, but reading again as an adult felt way more the politics of navigating friendship and love distilled into a teenage perspective and how it ripples through your development into adulthood.
