I WANT MORE!
I have nothing else to say except that it's a tiny little gem that feels like a super nova dancing under my skin.
I wish I could read it (for the first time) again.
These are the type of books I wish I had when I was actually of the age range this was meant for. It didn't feel pandering on the topics explored in this but addressed it in a way that showed Leno appreciated her readers into understanding what was being expressed and knowing the message to take away from it. The subtle magical realism put into this was also great.
4.5 stars This book made me really nostalgic for unidentifiable reasons... One of the best books I've read in 2018 so far. I love magical realism, and this story was just so beautifully written with an important message and with diverse sexual representation. I took .5 of a star off because I saw a few things coming, but did it really lessen my enjoyment of the book? No. So I might come back and give it the 5 stars it deserves.
