  Summary

  Kathani Sharma loves kindergarten, her new friends and her cool new pink glasses. Too bad one of her classmates, Anthony Bridgerton, can sometimes be a little bit mean.

  This is a childhood to adulthood saga of Kanthony through all the awkward years in modern USA
  OR
  What if Kathani were the established, popular one and Anthony was the newcomer/outsider?

  Some angst with heavier issues, but no parents die and there will be a HEA following a very slow burn.

  (Title inspired by the YA novel Children of the River by Linda Crew)

  A handy guide to decide if/when/where you want to dive in or dip out
  Chapters 1-12: Fluff (elementary school)
  Chapters 13-19: Angst+Fluff esp from 17 and on (middle school)
  Chapters 20-25: Drama+Fluff (high school + beyond)
  Epilogue: Eventual HEA
