A review by monkeelino
Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera

3.0

I found this a thoroughly enjoyable coming-out-and-of-age story with a humorous and engaging narrator. It ends up tackling some very real issues, is hilarious in parts, but mostly opts for feel-good outcomes. Probably 4 stars for enjoyment and 2 stars for overall writing and plot. Juliet has a wonderfully open and honest approach to life and you easily identify with her. The main character is an authentic and diverse voice, but Rivera possibly writes down a bit to her audience.
