4.18 AVERAGE


Vilken otroligt fin och viktig bok. Önskar att jag hade läst den innan jag skrev mitt examensarbete så att den hade kunnat vara med för wow, jag har ändå ganska bra koll på ya-litteratur med karaktärer med cp (eftersom det finns typ fem böcker totalt) och denna klarar alla test.

Non-disabled/disabled-förhållande, check.
Författare som faktiskt själv är funktionsnedsättning, check (extra plus eftersom hon har cp!).
Förhåller sig till diskriminering och förminskar inte karaktären, check.
Men framför allt: allt går inte som Effie vill, men det är okej ändå!

Vilket meddelande ändå, med tanke på att typ 4 av 5 tidigare nämnda böcker med karaktärer som har cp är någon form av superhjältar som kan allt. Effie är bara en helt vanlig tjej. Kommer rekommendera till alla unga vuxna.

Thank you Scholastic Canada for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Such a heartwarming story of bravery and standing up for what’s right and fair. I loved rooting for Effie and her character development throughout the entire book. I can’t believe this is a debut!

Love the representation!

An enjoyable read with a sweet story about how being brave can lead you on to better paths and more self confidence. This story is also eye opening to the privileges that able-bodied people have while the disregard disabled persons face.

I absolutely loved this book! It was incredibly well-written and super relatable. I don't think I've ever related to a character more than I related to the main character in this book. I will definitely want to read this again.
