A review by seventhaurora
In the Role of Brie Hutchens... by Nicole Melleby

5.0

i hope i’ll be able to gather my thoughts together to right a proper review for this book because it was one of the sweetest and most real depictions of coming to terms with sexuality in a catholic context that i’ve ever read.

this story was so easy to read because a lot of the feelings brie encountered i’ve already lived through. but rather than being completely depressing, as a lot of these stories tend to be, weaved throughout this story was a constant thread of hope, as well as characters whose support for brie made my heart close to bursting.

one of the best middle grades i’ve read and one i wholly recommend. if only for the nod to ladybird (2017).
