Home Home is a short little YA novel about a Trinidadian teenager who suffers from mental health issues and, after a serious incident, is sent to stay with her aunt in Canada. It touches on race and racism, mental health, LGBTIQA+ issues, and especially the different attitudes towards the latter two in Trinidad and Canada. I enjoyed this story for what it was but felt it was too brief to explore the issues fully or with much nuance.
