Buku ini memuat cerita tentang masa peralihan dari anak-anak menuju remaja yang ringan disertai ilustrasi cantik yang memanjakan mata <3 

Berkisah tentang Tuva (12 tahun) yang bimbang pada dunia remaja: cara terlihat lebih dewasa, cara berpakaian, soal percintaan. Perbedaan pendapat menciptakan dua kubu di kelasnya dan memecah persahabatannya. Persoalan lain yang diangkat ialah cinta sesama gender (lesbi). Di sini disampaikan bahwa mencintai sesama perempuan bukanlah sesuatu yang salah. Jadi, buku ini sangat tidak direkomendasikan untuk anti-LGBTQ+ ^^

A very sweet, charming book about growing up, sapphic love and friendships and how it all plays together. It's told as diary entries of a 12 year old with cute illustrations throughout. As it is a middle grade book, some characters do end up saying hurtful things here and there, something to keep in mind. There's a certain nostalgic feeling if you read this when you are older.
Also I loved the BTS references :)

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc of this book, all opinions are my own.

written partially as a diary and partially 'shown' through comic panels, this book captures the experience of early puberty with unnerving accuracy; this brought back a lot of feelings I had between the ages of 10-13, and reminds me to be extra compassionate to kids that age, even (or especially) if they're acting out.

Friends (in Norway) start 7th grade in either the not mature group or the I'm in love group. One of the girls falls for the new girl in class. Very matter of fact when the girl comes out to her dad and then also when she comes out to her friend.
