I wanted to read this so that I could share my review with my work colleagues!
This was just LOVELY. Mia is hope epitomised and strives to make her motel community as happy as possible. Of course there’s frustrations at school and her love/hate relationship with Jason is typical for a tween, but her voice is incredibly mature and necessary ❤️ I loved the weeklies as well, they were great characters.
I’m giving this 4 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨

I love Mia and her spirit to never give up, no matter how hard situations are! She faced some hard times, along with people who weren’t so kind to her/her family, and friends, but she didn’t let that stop her. I loved all of the other characters that came into her life while working at the motel and look forward to what lies ahead for her and her family in the next installment! I have loved all of Kelly Yang’s YA stories, so it doesn’t surprise me that I would love her Middle Grade novels as well 💜
