A story about the endurance of true friendship. The characters are so vividly drawn I feel like I'd recognize them on the street. Occasionally slow, though the ending is quite satisfying.

I read this book for a summer reading bingo (square: read two books with the same title). This is a very short YA book but has excellent representation of Tourette’s and a sweet friendship/romance. There’s some tough family dynamics and painful social meanness.

I like how Harry Potter is kind and stands up for what is right.

Really good book. Loved her sense of humor and she’s so cool! Would highly recommend.

I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

We love Calvin and Hobbes!

This was an exciting adventure, book for kids, which taught many things about teamwork, mutual respect, and Outdoor safety.

This book was a brave step toward understanding and acceptance, especially for being published in 2012. The lines near the end at the romantic climax are annoyingly cliche but overall the book has an amazing message. The range of topics discussed in the book such as sexuality and racial identity were nearly impossible to cover during the time this book was bu

very interesting. It inspires friendship and the plot is great!

“Kinda weird.”
