Brave Enough by Kati Gardner
4.0
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
Brave Enough is a really touching story about life, loss, and acceptance. It deals with topics many people experience but most don't like talking about, which is one of the reasons this book is so important. The truth is teenagers deal with addiction, cancer, and death more than we would like to think about. Teenagers also deal with low self-esteem, first love, and discovering who they are. Brave Enough covers all of these topics and then some. Personally, I thought the writing style was a bit lacking and it didn't do much for me, but the content of the book and the characters were so well done and really stuck with me. I don't really see YA books that talk about the realities of cancer and addiction like Brave Enough does, and for that reason I am definitely going to purchase it for our library.
