It's an easy to read book about Tuva, who wants to be more mature as a teenager that just started her seventh grade! I understand her point, though. I was like her, but more wild and untamed. I did have the vision that being in love make me uncool and it's cringe and it's disgusting and make up is awful and bra is weird and romance is ass. But it is not like that. Tuva wondered whether a teen can be in love and still stan BTS at the same time and the answer is, we can!

I'm glad Tuva finds the answer little by little after going through so much with her friends, her crush, and her father. Good God, I love her father! Kudos to you, big man!

Anyway, for young readers (maybe if you are in junior high school or at the later stage of elementary school), please give this book a try! Maybe it can help you a lot, who knows. And please know that, you are cool! Be yourself, darls.
