It's that time o year when I gotta read a ton of middle grade for work!! Glad this was the one I started with because it was cute as hell. Remy Lai explains middle school feelings so well!!! I could relate to the helicopter parenting and I really liked the reframing of the feeling of being smothered into one where your family is showing love. But it's still ok to be independent and want space!! Perfect for kids who like superheros or graphic novels or friendship stories. Has a kind of modern Harriet the Spy vibe. I listened to the audiobook, but I know there are drawings and comics in the physical copy so I'll have to check those out!
