I’ll be honest I picked up this book in the same grade Patricia (Sweet Pea) is in. But I got distracted by Aru Shah at the time when Roshani was coming to school so I put it back on shelf not even finishing the second chapter. The best coming of age story for any middle schooler especially in hard times. Gives you a picture what a real family is like as well what it should be without all the fairy tales of myths. Who knew the only thing keeping us away from our own happiness is our own comfort in the past. Love Me as much as you love yourself or don’t love at all.
