A sweet book for girls learning to find themselves as they date. I was hoping this would be a little picture book for adults, but this is a perfect gift for teens. Very charming.

For review. It was okay, just think it leant too much towards the heteronormative idea that only girls like boys and vice versa. Also clearly fell into stereotype of "girls are vulnerable to boys and ergo must be shielded", which personally I find problematic as a generalisation. Lovely art despite this.

This is absolutely adorable! The illustrations were cute, the message is beautiful. There is also a little dog that follows the girl around and he is absolutely endearing—reminds me of my dog so I’m totally smitten with this book!

Touching and gorgeously illustrated; I almost cried but it’s 1am so there are some confounding variables there.

Well this is adorable. I was worried about the direction it was going, but the ending was perfect. A bit heteronormative, but otherwise, a lovely little read and a fun addition to my shelves.
