This story of fencing and family is one that I’ll have you in your feels. It’s a story out there for girls that don’t have the Gilmore Girls type of relationship with their mom. Its also about learning that not all friendships last forever but the best you can do is be you and try new things. This book was real and heartfelt and there will be girls out there that need this book, and it will be there lifeline while they are trying to figure out middle school.
