⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 beautiful stars
I loved this book!!! This story was so adorable and should be read by every person who has ever migrated.
The on-page representation of anxiety and depression, along with an awkward mother-daughter dynamic in a Trinibagonian household, was masterfully done. I was here for the friendship, new beginnings, the Trini lingo/references, the non-linear journey to healing, the teenage girl finding her voice outside of her head, the mother that did what she had to do without complaint, and the family that stepped in to create a safe landing place.
I thought the romance was super sweet, innocent, and appropriate for any teen who reads this book. It gave me flashbacks to that time in my own life.
I felt so seen while reading this novel and experienced a range of emotions, from sadness to cackling out loud!
I couldn't believe my shock when I realized I didn't even know the MCs name until I got to the last page
