This story addresses a gap that can occur between a U.S. born daighter and their immigrant mother when it comes to the tradition of a cotillion.  It triggered a lot of feelings for me. My mom tried to pressure me into having one. I like how the book highlights so many issues that can be part  of a teenage girl experience.
