Similarities and Differences
Emily and I have differences but we have a lot in common like how we both are very lazy and dreamers. Furthermore, we collectively share a preconceived notion about occurring events. I personally am a more social person than Emily since she is an antisocial person. Emily's personalty is introverted unlike me who is extroverted. My immune system is more stronger than Emily's. Lastly, the curiosity of our future keeps us on our's toes, yet, it doesn't take away the optimism from our hearts.

Opinion /Recommendation
This read from Emily Smucker is tangy and sweet in multiple ways. I stared of with feeling uninterested about Emily's issues and her monotonous monologues but gradually felt engrossed after reading how similar we were in some ways (mentioned above). While reading the book I realized that her character was very complacent regardless of the situation, which personally disconnected me as a fellow teen myself. Towards the end the book was relieving in term that, Emily found the fulfillment & happiness she often desired. I give this book a 3.5/5 in terms of personal found connection.
