lydiastorytime's review against another edition
4.0
A lovely story of a young girl finding her place in her world. A perfect book for 4th-8th grade kids. I loved getting to walk with Ivy through this formative year in her life. This book beautifully captures a very delicate age and encourages resilience and self love. This book is much needed in our world.
I encourage all queer adults or older children to read this as well. It was very cathartic to read and allow my younger self to explore comming out in a safe environment.

Don't you just love it when a book can give you so much warmth and love and how you wish you read it earlier in your younger year 😭
I feel like seeing my old self in all of Ivy's fear, doubt and anxiety. Figuring yourself out that you're not attracted in boys when you're still a kid is frightening. Coming out is frightening!!! But finally able to be true to yourself as the result is always worth it ❤️

“Maybe 'perfect' was just another word for belonging. For feeling like yourself. It didn't mean things weren't hard. It just meant they were right.”
If you've ever been a middle school girl, questioning who you are, where you belong, or who you love, Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World will speak volumes to you. I wish my 12-year-old self could have read this book and I thought a lot about her while reading this. Five stars is not enough, this book was amazing. Full of love, loss, heartbreak, and healing, this is sure to be one of my favorite books of all time.
