Read for work (sixth grade seminar) maybe the best book I’ve read on navigating life at private PWI as scholarship student of color, really good arc on self advocacy

I LOVED this book so much. I wanted to be friends with Jade.

Loved this book. It's very eye opening to see Jades point of view being the mentee in an "at risk" program. This book shows that not everyone need's fixing regardless of how much society may thing so. This book is needed though I do wish it was a bit longer! I would have loved to hear more of Jade's story.

wow this book was so thoughtful and gorgeous. i think some YA authors miss the mark when it comes to writing teenage characters and things can become over dramatized (albeit still fun to read), but this felt very authentic and real, especially in the moments that were more mundane. jade is such a lovable character and had me weeping through the last few chapters

This book has a great message but it was a slow plot for me. I would have enjoyed more plot and more story

YA books are superior. No one can convince me otherwise. I loved being able to relate to the location of this story, I adored Jade and her resilience and her determination.
