Status Updates From The Ship We Built

I think I would’ve realized I was trans if I had read this in elementary or middle school.

Needed a novel. Thank you Kasey’s bookshelf!

I love the MC’s little drawings omg😭💕

Topic: Characterization, Emily is very emotional she feels she has no one to talk to but Rowan. SHe shares with Rowan all her secrets because Rowan does the same with her. She talks to Rowan about her problems and her day hoping that Rowan will comfort her as he always has. I think she also feels she can talk to rowan because she hasn't even met him yet. Emily has has a lot of self control over her actions.

Making connections: My character and a strange other person are making connections through letters. They both mail each other about there week at the end of each week. The girl tells the boy about her week and he does the same. The girl feels troubled though she thinks if she asked the boy if they could meet in person he'd say no or she would lose the connection she had with them.
