I’m thinking of starting a book club where we read books that we enjoyed as kids/young adults. Each month a different person will choose the book. After the group discusses it the person who chose the book will discuss why it was chosen and the impact it had. I think my friends may think it’s weird but it could be fun.
My book would be Class Pictures by Marilyn Sachs. It is about 2 girls who meet in kindergarten. One is popular and poor (or middle class) the other is not popular and rich. I believe it is told from the pov of the popular girl, Pat. Each year she describes their class pictures and how their relationship grows. As they get older the dynamic changes, I won’t give it away though from the way I described it it sounds like a snooze fest.
I don’t know why I liked it so much but I did. I remember doing a book report in my speech class about it. It’s coming of age, though so different from my experience, yet so raw that I could relate.
I think of this book often and I know that I have read it as an adult. I need to find the book in my house and reread it. Maybe convince my friends to do the same.
