I bought this because I thought it was a poetry book. I was wrong. Anyway.

I really related to / understood the emotions of the character so it got some extra points. Other than that it's just okay.

it’s alright, i have no complaints. the book is written in free verse and the writing isn’t half bad, the characters are interesting but not interesting enough for me to be invested or care a whole lot, but the story itself is realistic and relatable and the book has an inspiring message/theme for teens going through similar things that sky did. it’s a nice short book to read when you’re in a reading slump or you just want to read a book that’s not too complicated.

 Nicki Minaj once said: When you don't make moves and you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition.

That's how I see Lay Li. That friend you have that only likes you when you're not glowing and becoming your own sun. The one that humiliates you and laughs at you to make herself look cute and impress you. Essa too.

Sky deserved better than that. Sky learned to voice that she deserved better than that. Sky learned what a real friend was and how real friends are supposed to make you feel.

My books in verse book binge finally ended and it ended on a great note. This book is about a young teen who comes to realize that her closest friend and sister may be toxic for her. 

The audiobook was great.
