Falling Over Sideways by Jordan Sonnenblick
4.0
This book ended up being a lot more relatable than I thought it would be. While I never attended public school or was in dance, I struggled with loneliness and finding/keeping strong friends growing up. I also suspect the book carried a lot more punch since my grandpa had a stroke earlier this year.
Sonnenblick's narrative voice is top-notch and I commend him for his varied and believable supporting cast.
Personally, I thought the very end was a /tiny/ bit too good to be true, but it didn't hurt the overall story, which was highly compelling and emotive.
