Slacks for Ella Funt

I think that I like reading YA novels because I still feel a lot of the same uncertainty that I did as a teenager. Sometimes characters in adult novels seem so set, so established, that the YA kids seem more like me. So even though I supposedly should have been beyond these issues by now, a lot of the dilemmas in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series still ring true for me. That said, there are a lot of cheesy YA books out there, and I feel like these have characters that seem like people I would actually like (unlike those rotten cliques and A-listers and etc.) but doesn’t also doesn’t feel like the author is trying to teach some kind of lesson about history or surviving hardship.
