lokenstein 's review for:

Star-Crossed by Barbara Dee
4.0

This was quite a cute book, and I’m glad it exists, because we need more lgbtq+ representation in children’s books! The story was quite simple and predictable, but still very sweet and enjoyable. The fact that nobody reacts negatively to Mattie’s crush is very important and appreciated. Also Mattie’s communication problems with her friends are pointed out, and the importance of trusting your friends is emphasized. I would recommend this book for any kid!
