es a moment to realize why: They're not all 16 yet.
Many entries are nevertheless mature and insightful, traversing "You hooked up with him?!" terrain to tackle topics such as racism, sexism and sexual orientation. Sept. 11, 2001, looms large in everyone's thoughts, in part because they had to evacuate their school, which was mere blocks from the Twin Towers. "I remember turning around to look back [at the World Trade Center]," Sophie writes, "but it was just a huge cloud of dust."
Still, the passages that resonate the most are those in which the girls act like, well, girls. Sophie draws singer Axl Rose's various alter egos, including "Axl Bows" and "Axl Snows." Julia insists that everyone refer to an "order of business" as an "oob." Courtney, writing about her mother, asks that age-old question: "Why doesn't she just die + leave me alone?" Most of the time, the girls seem as if they're on a race to see who can get to "grown-up" first. Maybe that's why these silly, prototypically teenage moments are so affecting.
