This novel is split into verse and prose, where verse is for Calli and prose for Jinsong. Calli lives with Tourette syndrome and has just moved to a new town/school with her boyfriend-seeking mom. Calli doesn’t make friends very easily, but meets Jinsong in her apartment complex and they instantly hit it off. As Calli navigates her new school, her tics start to become harder to control - even Jinsong finds it hard to be her friend while at school. This novel is about friendship, all while dealing with overcoming fears and stepping up to bullying. I remember buying this book while in Vegas last year (and the fact that it mentions the characters ending up in Vegas was cool) and really liked the cover. I’m glad that I picked it up and bought it, as sometimes the books we know nothing about are some of the best stories to pick up and devour in one day 😊
