Opinion:
Lily and Dunkin is an amazing coming of age novel. This book gave me emotions I never thought possible from a middle grade novel. Donna Gephart did a lot of research to write this novel and it is apparent thoughout the story. I expecially felt close to Lily in this book and was always excited to read in her perspective. I highly reccommend reading this novel.
