So so so a must-read. I really felt immersed in this one, and it is such a necessary book to read for its historically-linked narrative and uncomfortable truths; it’s just, wow, I’m almost speechless. It’s very effective if that makes sense, it’s sweet and heartwarming and a really tough read (bc it can be uncomfortable to be confronted with some of the themes that are rightfully explored)
Moderate: Bullying, Emotional abuse, Hate crime, Panic attacks/disorders, Racial slurs, Racism, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Grief, Religious bigotry, Medical trauma, and Colonisation
Minor: Alcohol
