For a debut novel, this is genuinely an amazing story! 

The way she talks about autism was both healing and educational. But my love for Jessie is uncanny because of how adorable and relatable she was. 

The confrontation of children in diaspora pared with the racism was a little too familiar, unfortunately, but I loved the incorporation of it in the story. 

So, in conclusion, I need more of Jessie because I'm so obsessed with her, so please keep writing about her! πŸ™πŸ˜«πŸ€

For anyone wondering, I'm obviously team Griffin! πŸ§›β€β™‚οΈβ€οΈ
