Yes!!!!! A family friend bought it for me randomly as a kid because "It's about a girl named Anna who has glasses, so it's about you!" Lucky guess. I should re-read it, though, because when I read it initially I hella identified with her idea of herself as someone who just generally never knew wtf was going on, and was glad I wasn't the only one to feel like I was missing something essential that everyone else got, but I didn't start getting rid of that feeling until a lot later in my life so that bit felt kind of foreign, like "damn everyone but me knows how to function including this fictional character who was comfortingly familiar at the beginning of the book." But other than that yes, excellent book!
