“the ways i sometimes want both to be looked at

& to disappear”

is there anything better than YA fiction written in prose? this is a moving and intimate novel with a little bit of magical realism and a lot of love. about why we choose to leave a place, about trying to find home within ourselves, about the reasons our parents make the choices they do and how the implications of those choices flutter into us
