So glad this book exists and I hope it finds the kids who need it! A heartfelt portrayal of being a queer preteen with a chronic illness <33

lunmione's review
5.0
as a jewish lesbian with anxiety and crohn's disease this book means everything to me. the crohn's disease aspect alone would have made me cry as literally no one writes fiction about it (at the very least in a compassionate light) but the additional bonus of everything else makes me feel like this book was written just with me in mind.
