sallyneate 's review for:
Redwood and Ponytail
by K.A. Holt
This book really bowled me over. I never imagined how verse could be so evocative not just of the protagonists' thoughts and feelings (of which there were obvs a lot because teenage girls), but also of place and that very specific stage of adolescence. I particularly loved the conversational verses with Kate/Tam's mums, which showed just how effectively the author could convey two completely different characters. This is easily in the top 5 queer YA books I've ever read.
