Sasha Masha by Agnes Borinsky

4.0

I simply adored Sasha Masha!

My only complaint with this novel was that it was a little too short. Because of this, I was unable to fully connect with any of the other characters aside from Sasha Masha.

However, there is so much more that I loved about this story! Sasha Masha was such a beautiful character, and I enjoyed reading from their perspective! My favorite part about this book was the exploration of identity. I haven't read many books where the main character is starting from ground zero when exploring their identity, so that was such a joy to read! We got to know Sasha Masha as they grew into their own, one realization of identity at a time.

There were some tragic elements of the story that truly broke my heart, but they were balanced with the sheer beauty of Sasha Masha coming into their own! It was a true celebration of self-love and identity. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a short book about a young person coming into their own and finally loving themselves for who they are!
