This book absolutely tore my heart out and started to stich it back up again all in one. 

I devoured this book and already cannot wait to read it again.  

The sibling relationship. The circle group. The therapy representation. The personal growth. Applause to everything that Courtne Comrie put into this novel. 

I wish I had this book growing up, but now I have the power to put this book in the hands of young people and will absolutely be recommending it.

This is a fantastic upper middle grade novel that tackles trauma, depression, racism and more. It's emotionally tough but also full of hope. Trigger warnings abound; recommended for 7th grade and up. For fans of Genesis Begins Again.
