Searle does an amazing job conveying her experiences at age 15. The turmoil of inner emotion, the yearning for interpersonal connection even though it is always tenuous and fragile, self-loathing, and the small triumphs that keep hope and happiness alive. Her depictions of people and their relationships are honest and genuine, and her art is excellent. Secondary and minor characters are as well done as the protagonist. A triumph on all levels.

Lovely story about changing friendships, finding the things that sustain you, and learnings to see the people around you. I appreciated the honest treatment of body shame and disordered eating.
