I read this a long time ago, about three or four years ago, I was skimming through it at the library. It was a great book! But I can't remember it's title! So it's about this girl, and I forgot her name, but I think it was a very common name, and I think she had a single dad. I don't know what happened to her mom. So it's about her growing up, I remember she had two friends, one had long blond hair, and I remember a scene where some boys put gum in her friends hair. I'm pretty sure it's a YA book, or maybe a children, though there was a scene where the MC talks to her older cousin about sex, but nothing about it was described, she just said she didn't know much about it. I think the characters were in middle school, though they might have been in HS or like fifth grade or something. I think it's an older book, because nothing about phones were described, and there was this one part where she's putting on makeup, and she calls blush rouge, or something like that.I don't think it's very long, because I read most of it in a few hours. I really hope to find it soon, thanks for helping!!!
