This book was absolutely wonderful! I felt so much for the main character and this is probably one of the best middle school books I’ve read. The tone for our main was done perfectly, and I loved how we got to hear about Isabella’s struggles of feeling caught between two worlds. 

I’d say the only thing is that the final part of the synopsis doesn’t happen until the very end, and I don’t think it should have been included as part of the premise since it happens so close to the end (though I can understand it if the author wanted to provide a trigger warning for those about to read).
