I adored Anita Kelly’s ya debut. The anxiety rep was incredible. This was such a feel good story  and the gender identity storylines were handled with care. The side characters were all fabulous and the side plot surrounding saving a Main Street mainstay was timely. 
Bailey Carr narrated with the perfect amount of emotion and really captured the essence of a witty teen.
