emotional reflective fast-paced

  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

This was a beautiful read. At several points I laughed at out loud, but there was also sadness, acceptance, and every other emotion under the sun in here. 

 It has
- family that love and support each other (including a stepmom who adores her kid) 
- a good bit of Spanish in it
- a diverse MC w/ type 1 diabetes
- Real talk about abuse and death, but at an age appropriate level


Everyone you see for more than 2 pages in this book cares about other people. It's like chicken noodle soup for the 2020 soul. A perfect reading start to 2021.
