🎧 I cannot say that this is my normal genre but I was scrolling through Libby looking for a super short and highly rated audiobook and this one met both of those standards! Plus I was immediately drawn to the cover because 😍

📚 I would highly recommend this to any middle-grade reader but also to adults looking for a short, meaningful read!

What I loved

I’ve never read anything written in verse like this! 
🌸 short and quick chapters
I read this in under 3 hours
🌸 diverse cast of characters 
cognitively and ethnically
🌸 dual POV
+ two different audiobook narrators 
🌸 characters written to act their ages 
7th graders acting like 7th graders 
🌸 interesting look into Tourette’s and the stigmas associated with it
🌸 HEA 


Why not 5 stars
🚙 I wish Calli got a better apology from her mom
🚙 the mom and other stupid adults
