My Umbrella is too Small and there is Rain

In that much trod tradition of coming-of-age narratives, here’s one about a lonely kid named Ash. She’s got artsy parents with professional and personal problems of their own. Sent to live with grandparents while mom and dad try to mend fences, Ash learns how to play the piano, reads books, draws pictures and navigates the conniving world of adults.
Yeah, and then COVID happens. Going back to school was weird and alien. To find her place, Ash joins the wrestling team, which was a whole new kind of disaster.
From there, she gets surly and resentful but never stops rolling the dice on new challenges. She makes new friends, goes cool places and learns sort of important stuff I (and maybe you) wish you knew when you were her age.
My Umbrella is too Small and there is Rain is a book for misfits or perfect fits with screaming fits at parents and funny bits with friends. It’s a bit of a sequel of November Forever. But if you haven’t read it, you’ll be fine reading My Umbrella is too Small and there is Rain.
