Booklist


“Witty prose and modern preteen slang make this an enjoyable and entertaining read…A relatable story of navigating ambition and relationships, with valuable mental health representation.”–Kirkus

“The fast pace and conversational tone that uses up-to-the-minute language will draw readers in. It shines [a spotlight] on mental health and the importance of community. An appealing read, especially for those looking to start a conversation about grief and anxiety.”–Kirkus Reviews
