A review by literatehedgehog
Golden Girl by Reem Faruqi

emotional hopeful medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Middle grade novel in verse with heartfelt topics, some new and some familiar (kleptomania, detainment, cancer treatment). 
I have conflicting feelings about the format - why a novel in verse, with "weird but true" fact boxes interspersed?
