Side point: I didn't like the rasp in this audiobook... It was wobbly raspy...
This book was upsetting. I know there's only so much you can do about Tourette's, but the neglect of this poor child to begin with, the crazy mom trope...
I was not in the mood. And where are we left in the end?? Ugh.
Jinsun was also so annoying until half way through. This was only a 3hr audiobook...

Even though this is a really easy read it somehow holds so many emotions. I really like how Celly and her tics are portraid in this book, beacuse I dont really know that mutch about it and just sortof found this book by accident. But I do really recemond it tp anyone who is even remotely interested.

This was a precious story. I’m a 5th/6th ELA teacher so I’m always looking for books that I can add to my classroom library. I loved that the book was written in short bursts of prose. Long chapters were always dreadful for me as a student. I like that there are moments when the rhythm and ~poetry~ of it all is so evident & times when it feels like just a simple middle grade novel. I love that it discusses & works to within even the very content of the book) de stigmatized Tourette’s syndrome. There is almost no book I’ve read — let alone one whose intended audience is children — that dives into the truth of what it can mean to live with Tourette’s. I personally always love a dual/multi-perspective point of view as well. I enjoyed this thoroughly and loved how quick of a read it was.

Book is a 3.5. It is a Teen book about a girl that changes school frequently and has Tourette’s syndrome. Was an easy read.
