Cross My Heart and Never Lie by Nora Dåsnes
4.0
I recieved an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this one! It's definitely for the weird kids, and I wish I had something like this in seventh grade. While the words seem hand-written, they aren't hard to read. The art style is absolutely gorgeous and matches perfectly with the story. I loved how it takes the time and space to introduce some other diverse experiences apart from the main character liking girls, like how she only has one dad or her Vietnamese friend. This book was first published in Norway, and I do kinda have a prejudice of all slavic countries being extremely white and their families being like a dad, a mom, a daughter and a son. Which of course isn't true, but it's nice to see it challenged in fiction as well.
