For fans of Smile and Real Friends comes a debut graphic novel about friendship and finding where you "click" in middle school. Olive wants to get in on the act . . . . . . Any act! Olive “clicks” with everyone in the fifth grade—until one day she doesn’t. When a school variety show leaves Olive stranded without an act to join, she begins to panic, wondering why all her friends have already formed their own groups . . . without her. With the performance drawing closer by the minute, will Olive be able to find her own place in the show before the curtain comes up? Author-illustrator Kayla Miller has woven together a heartfelt and insightful story about navigating friendships, leaning on family, and learning to take the stage in the most important role of all.

OK, so apparently this is a pretty popular graphic novel with tweens and stuff so I gave it a go. The book cover looked very cute! It's a bit too short to tell a story and the main conflict is really just not having a specific one-friend group and no ‘best friend' for Olive. I mean sure, many kids feel that way but then I just thought, actually Olive is very lucky! She has a lot I mean a lot of friends, different kinds of friends. I am jealous honestly. Like I had the problem where I didn't fit in at all. Like I guess I never really had a friend group where I belonged but it's not that I had a lot of friends either... Olive's aunt was very cool tho, like her personality and how she supported her niece! I loved how she was very proud of being herself in the talent show back in high school. I was pretty happy that Olive found something that clicked and let me say it, she literally got the best role from all the others, like go girl! Don't ever feel like you're not as cool and that you don't have much to say and show. The art style was also pretty good, I loved it!!!
i wanted more in the ending !!! but it was such a cute and wholesome read :)
