@jaimiealessi Do you think this book should be publicized more even though its conflicts were not as pleasing? Do you think this book has a lot to offer in overarching themes/lessons?
- Atticus in the way that Jem would help him. This may be rooted in the fact that she has never had a strong positive female figure in her life, and feels that she could never equate to a boy, especially not Jem. #summerapread19
