I thought this was a good book but quite slow.

I thought mango’s death was too late in the book. It felt like the author put mango’s death late in the book and tried to fix it by just giving Mia a really strong reaction to his death.

Heart wrenching. The use of synesthesia as a literary aid is absolutely incredible. Reading level for younger audiences, but enjoyable for all ages.

I think you’ll enjoy this book if you’ve ever questioned your normality or if you’ve ever felt out of place or different. The main character Mia, after years of questioning why she sees colours with letters and numbers finally discovers she has synesthesia and in a way, she also discovers more about herself. A beautiful and short read.
