Absolutely adored this! I’ve seen this so many times but I didn’t have the time to pick it up. I’m glad that finally did. It’s such a sweet coming of age and coming out story that’s perfect for a middle grade audience. There are some difficult moments in terms of content warnings where Riley is bullied and experiences homophobia from other students but she has such a great support system and is able to really connect with another student. I loved the emphasis on being true to self and only making space for those who allow you to do the same. Riley is an imperfect character and has a lot to learn, but overall she’s sweet, kind, and quirky character that even I could relate to. Overall, a good debut!
