Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Pardalita by Joana Estrela 

Pardalita is a quiet and thoughtful story about an introverted 16-year-old girl named Raquel who is growing up in a small town in Portugal. The story is about different moments in her past and present life, and her interactions with her family and friends. But it's also about her growing attraction for an artistic girl named Pardalita, and how when she joins a theater troupe they start getting closer.
