Surprisingly Good submitted by mayaisAWESOME on August 18, 2021, 2:33pm The subject was sad but the book was really good. Della is really kind even though she has some problems with her family. Della doesn't realize how much their problems affect her older sister. It was a really good book and I recommend you read it.
