special thanks to amysm for sending me stargirl. this is the book i read on the plane ride over to scotland. i guess it's classified as young adult fiction. stargirl is different. she is anything but "normal". she is the person in high school that everyone made fun of, but probably secretly everyone was so undeniably jealous of her self acceptance, her love for others, her freedom. all i can say about this book is that it's a fast read, it provoked tears, it made me laugh, and it made me want to know myself more. everyone could definitely benefit from reading this one.

and here's a brief quote from the book... "On the contrary, she is one of us. Most decidely. She is more us than we are us. She is, I think, who we really are. Or were."
