I adored this book which surpassed my expectations which I had lowered a little after reading this author's adult work. The audiobook narrator did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life which adds a whole other dimension to the experience. Mandanna beautifully depicts the reality of an (undiagnosed) anxiety disorder, using it to create a complex character who comes fully into her own by accepting this as part of herself while building beautiful friendships along the way. I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel.
