lightreadsFeeling Sorry for Celia
3/5. Cute YA epistolary novel about an Australian teenager dealing with teenaged stuff through sticky note conversations with her mother and letter exchanges with her pen pal. Sweet, with a light touch even for very serious stuff happening – a pregnancy scare, breakups, first kisses, family drama, best friend drama, a sorta kinda suicide attempt. It's charming and I would totally get this for a teen, or even a precocious tween. Though that would probably require answering a lot of questions about why they don't just email each other and WTF is this fax nonsense. Note this was published in 2000.
