blankcrayon 's review for:

The First State of Being by Erin Entrada Kelly
5.0
adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

When a book makes you cry in the end, you give it five stars.

A fitting tribute to When You Reach Me. The 1990s youth culture was a bonus. A book about time travel, maybe, but more so a book about living in the moment, optimism, friendship, and trying to do a little better each day.
