Proud of Me by Sarah Hagger-Holt
4.0
Proud of me is about ‘almost’ twins Becky and Josh who are donor twins with two mums.
Josh is determined to find out more about his donor dad and Becky is navigating feelings for her best friend.
I think this is such a wonderful book for young reader, it really explores the transition of child to teenager and the change in relationships, between friends, parents and siblings.
The writing style is super easy to read and uses correct pronouns for characters throughout the book, I love this in writing as I think it really opens a discussion about the importance of not assuming a characters pronouns.
A really lovely read, I particularly loved Becky’s love interest story, without giving any spoilers, some parts of her story really made me feel for her, seeing how she navigated her feelings really interested me.
This book highlights life as part of the LGBTQ community and importantly doesn’t forget that others are not always accepting.
We also touch on internet safety and the importance of communication and trust. It really does cover so much for young readers.
If you want a lovely quick read with masses of plot and feeling you need to pick this one up!
