come talk books (and other things) with me over at my twitter!
3.5* rounded up. this was a charming short story. the tone of voice took a second to get used to, but overall home home was lovely. it's also refreshing to read a story shining a light on the mental health struggles of black girls, something overlooked and dismissed all too often. not all stories are meant to be long i guess but it could've done with a little more breathing room or maybe something like an epilogue, just to give enough space to explore the themes of kayla's story a little more closely.
