Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and everyone that contributed to the existence of this book for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
A cute little coming of age story, packed with all existential crises that people of young age go through. I'd say this is a good recommendation for kids dealing with transitioning towards teenage years and first love aspects.
😍 The good:
A wholesome book about growing up, presenting everything in a nice, soft way. Definitely relatable for middle-grade kids. Great that it looks at things from different perspectives as well, as the story line is focused on an LGBTQ+ love interest.
😅 The not-so-good:
This was a bit chaotic in audio form, probably due to the original structure of the book. It also seemed quite simple at times and did not delve much into some things.
