this book…. this book. i am flawed and amazed and wowowow, i’ve only recently started reading middle grade as well and as my third book in the genre, i’d say it’s going pretty well.
hazel hill is gonna win this one, is a phenomenal book that perfectly encapsulates childhood feelings and the difficulty of being understood, listened to and respected at such a young age. hazel and her friends fight against sexual harassment and stand up for themselves and others as a way to demonstrate that their age doesn’t reflect their experiences.
it was beautiful, thoughtful and so delicate when it needed to be. but primarily it is full of little kids that shouldn’t have to fight but do. and god do they put up a fight <3
the subtle queerness in this book was also!! so good!!! it wasn’t a big thing, she was queer and that was it- her experiences and behaviour didn’t change and AHHHH. i love her, this book and anyone who helped make it.
thank you netgalley for the e-arc, i am sending you a big kiss on the forehead xoxo
