It’s been awhile since I fell for a romance as completely as I did for Plum’s. Ordinary Girls may not always be the most realistic fiction yet the humor, the awkwardness, and the serious bits were plenty relatable. I also loved that this family is by no means perfect, financially they’re barely keeping their heads above water, the mom is frazzled much of the time, and when they aren’t irritating each other to no end, sisters Plum and Ginny ultimately have each other’s backs. I could see some readers finding this mom and her two daughters overly quirky, but I was in exactly the right mood for the whimsy of their old-timey dilapidated home and their pop culture references almost exclusively devoted to literature and I don’t know why the sisters were obsessed with styling their hair in a braid but that was just one of the many little details that made this enjoyable and memorable. ![]()
