Customer Reviews

Perfect for young LGBTQ+ children experiencing a crush for the first time

Book trigger warnings: Racism, Lesbomisia, Ableism & ableist language, Parental abandonment (theme), Physical child abuse, Cheating recounted, Suicide attempt recounted (chp. 10), Depression, Hospitalisation (on-page & recounted), Bullying (on-page), Near-drowning incident (chps. 1 & 11). I love that this book beautifully takes you through a young girl's first experience with falling in love...and it's with another girl! I love how gorgeous the author describes the scenery in this book. It almost makes you feel like you are there yourself to feel the air blowing against you and to see the blue sparkling water. This is a stunning and quick read.
