Lark & Kasim Start a Revolution by Kacen Callender
5.0
Felix Ever After is one of my all time favourite LGBTQ+ books, and so when I heard that Kacen Callender was releasing a new book, I just had to read it. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint.
The writing was engaging and excellently reflected the thought processes of a neurodivergent person. As a neurodivergent person myself, this is some of the best ND representation I've ever read!
I love how Callender doesn't hold back from creating characters that are messy and real, that make mistakes and do the wrong thing, but that grow, change and are still lovable. That is exactly who Lark is, and I loved them as a main character.
The representation in this book is also fantastic, specifically Lark, who is Black, non-binary, queer and neurodivergent. I enjoyed how Kacen Callender explored the intersectionality of Lark's identities.
Overall a great YA contemporary and one of my favourite reads so far this year!
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an E-ARC and the publisher for proving me with a physical ARC in exchange for an honest review.
