I'm glad this was my first book of 2024. This debut YA story was like a warm hug to younger me. I saw pieces of myself sprinkled throughout Jessie's experience, from learning to navigate social expectations at a young age, to writing out a list of goals that feel absolutely essential at the time of making them. I hope other neurodivergent girlies pick this up too, it's a story that feels both specific and universal at the same time. Would recommend!
