Anyway, the post-apocalpytic world aspect could have been a bit more developed because by the end, it did require quite a bit of suspension of disbelief. But I still enjoyed it, and I love all the rep that it includes!

IZZY! I absolutely adore this inclusive, diverse book and the amazing cast of characters, especially Izzy, Raven, and Akka. This story is emotional, quirky, apocalyptic, and comforting all in one.
The whole story comes together piece by piece as Izzy and Raven reveal truths to each other throughout their journey. There are frustrations and successes, heartbreak and triumphs.
Does it come with flaws? Yes, it's by no means a perfect book. Are you guaranteed to have a fun time reading it? 100%! I will absolutely be recommending this book to middle-grade and teen readers.
