Reviews

[Good Night To Read · Rating 5 out of 5]

An empowering and empathetic book with emotional highs and lows and lyrical cadences that rise and fall. A life changing read that lingers after the last page.

[Hannah Peck · Rating 3 out of 5]

A story about growing up that deals with mental health issues. It celebrates diversity and uses imagery.
