Reggie and Delilah's Year of Falling by Elise Bryant

5.0

Overall: SO good!!! It's so joyous, I highly recommend!! It's the third in a series, but the other two are only barely referenced so you def don't have to read in order. The premise and execution were A+ 

Elise Bryant strikes the perfect balance between being lighthearted & fun, while also talking about race and how it impacts Delilah & Reggie. It's a dual POV, and Reggie is so endearingly funny & earnest. I love that they're both out here pretending to be confident to impress each other, but also trying to be the best versions of themselves bc they don't know who they are yet! I was soo proud of them for growing throughout the book, and figuring out how to have difficult convos with each other, with Delilah's band, and with Reggie's parents. I'm out here proud of teens that don't even exist bc their personal growth was hard fraught and I applaud them for it!
