bibliovermis 's review for:

The Greatest Thing by Sarah Winifred Searle

4.0

---

As someone who was in high school not too far off from the characters in this book, this story was almost too real. The struggles of the teenagers in this book, to find connection and develop healthy relationships with themselves and others, while dealing with some pretty fraught issues, were really well handled. I loved the characters, relationshps, art, and story. It was a relief that the adults and institutions in this book were, overall, very caring and proactive—a very welcome deviation from my own high school experience.
