I think the concept behind this book was fun, but I thought it was executed in such a repetitive and dry way. Even for a middle grade book, I really couldn’t believe how obviously everything was stated and how the main character’s growth/pain points took so long to overcome (in terms of chapters). It felt like all of her trauma had stemmed from this singular experience as a child and the author beat that point home over and over again. I think this book might actually make for a good movie adaptation where the movie was better.
