If You Love Me, Call Me Dorrie

A paperback of If You Love Me, Call Me Dorrie sits on a blue background with pink flowers. ON the cover, a girl sits, hugging her knees in front of a farmhouse.

If You Love Me, Call Me Dorrie is a nostalgic read for me…a book that someone gave me when I was in late elementary school.

It love the characters here, and the Parent-Trap-like machinations of the teens are both funny and heartwarming.

I loved and still love the way Dorrie finds her place in her family and gets to stability, even if it’s not exactly the way she envisions it. And though there are preachy moments in here they aren’t completely cringe-worthy.

This is a book I go back to from time to time–a comfort read when the world has gone crazy. Do you have any nostalgia reads like this?
