Never judge a book by it’s cover, or in this case, another person. Marnie is jealous of her new friend Tiffany, knowing she is the chosen one, but wants it for herself. She eventually learns that people aren’t what you first perceive and that you need to get to know them because we truly don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.

Thanks to NetGalley & First Second Books for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

WOWZA!! Fantastic read! I really love how both of the protagonists' characters developed and grew through the book. I was so ready to be mad at Marnie for, well, you know, "stealing" Tiffany's griffon but in the end you understand why she did it and how we need to work on our own biases toward others. The artwork was fantastic and I loved the hilarious expressions during certain moments. A must-read!
