I've gotten a little into the book, and I can honestly say I know why everyone loves it. So far, everything is so normal. I love that Mia has such a normal life; the boyfriend, the parents, and her little brother Teddy. I think that with Mia's parents being "punk", or used to be punk at her age, is a nice touch. She is different in her own ways from her family, not only her cello loving (instead of guitar. drums, etc) but how she also looks different from her family. She says that when her dad jokes about how she isn't realy apart of the family, and got switched when she was a baby, she kind of takes it to heart. I'm sure a lot of people have thought this, or feel like this a lot in their lives.
Mia can relate to me, and many others; this is another thing I really love about the book. As a suggestion, anyone who reads this book should try to connect Mia's life with theirs. For me, it's the feeling like you're not apart of the family. Sometimes I feel like my family are all fighters, and gregarious people. They are hard workers, which I do admit, I think I am (more like I hand it to myself). I am not a people-person at all; I do have my moments where I love talking, but that's not a lot of times. I do have to say, I feel like I'm a complete different person compared to my family.
You can feel like this, but just remember the most important part: It's not if you feel you're not like them, it's the fact they care. Always remember that!
