A lovely book for young people. My only complaint was the mother's absolute refusal to hear Celi when she said she just wanted privacy. But I really liked the writing, and it ended well.

I hate that people in my parish tried to get this book removed from the public library just because it talks about menstruation and because there's a non-binary character.
