I love Maisy May.  I'm talking about the character, but obviously the same good feelings extend to the book as a whole.  In many ways Maisy is a typical teenager with typical teenage problems.  She's working at making the transition from kid to adult.  Like almost every high school kid there are teachers she doesn't like, cliques she clashes with, and adults she'd rather avoid.  Sometimes her Mom is great and sometimes she wishes she'd just go away.What sets Maisy apart is her sense of humor.  She sees the funny side of everything.  She recognizes the absurdity of so many experiences in life.  Her internal dialog had me laughing out loud almost constantly.  Most importantly, even when her life takes an unplanned and traumatic turn, she keeps laughing.  This novella is the first of a trilogy.  I'm eager to see what the next installment of Maisy's life brings.
