It is hands down my favorite MG book of 2024. The story is engaging and painful and honest. The writing is a master class in craft for plotting and voice. @choldenko.bsky.social I'm not worthy 👏👏👏21 Nov 2024 14:03 +0000at://did:plc:atmef3lafopoibwtpypohov5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbhmxot6uc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/laurie17brown.bsky.social/post/3lbg4sjwivs2dBig shout out to @inkedvoices.bsky.social!
