This book was a little late Christmas present for me, but I am glad to read it.
I love that the new "Girl of the Year" is modern, but still reminds it's readers to not live behind a screen and that life is out in the world. Blaire lives on a sustainable farm with her parents, Grandfather, and little brother. Her recent diagnosis of lactose intolerance has her wavering about hanging out with her friends (because of eating) and continuing to cook (which she loves).
If life hadn't gotten in the way, I feel that I wouldn't have been able to put this book down. I loved it!! (The farm life, her struggle, the wedding planning...all of it!) My favorite American Girl of the Year!! This is a great book for Middle Schoolers, and even younger girls. Let's see what it's sequel, "Blaire Cooks Up a Plan" has to offer, and I'm hoping there's a Blaire #3 book.
