Such a bittersweet ending to the story! I enjoyed this a lot but maybe not as much as I thought that I would. Still would read and recommend to anyone who regrets their actions as a kid/teen.

Absolutely gorgeous! Manages to create a fully realized world with cute robots and a story that addresses abuse so well. A new favorite.

Edited to add: Shout out to Renata for saying, “This book was written SPECIFICALLY for you,” and being 100% correct.

Oh noooooo emotions!

A sweet comic about an unhinged baking competition with a dash of romance!

This was on our high school's summer reading list a while ago and I finally picked it up while at the desk the other day. (Don't tell.) I enjoyed it but it's definitely the first volume. I have a feeling if I continue I will be emotionally devastated.

I think I'm learning I want to like “slice of life” but sometimes want a little more plot. And in this instance a little more spice! But very cute and fun.

Like Jarrett's experiences I expected this to be dark but it ended up being sweet and life affirming. The ONLY reason I didn't cry was that I read it while being tattooed and I didn't want my artist to think they were making me cry.

This was a wild read. As others have said, I'm glad her mom died too. I wish only healing for McCurdy!!

Jerry Craft can do no wrong! Another great entry in this series with even more characters getting fleshed out and developed. Full of funny gags and plays on words as well.

I really enjoyed this and a lot resonated with me!

This was great! I loved how Pham presented his memories via food. I thought it worked really well and could have read 100 more pages. It was also fun to see Gene Luen Yang make appearances since I believe they teach at the same school!!

A nice, fun break from Alex reading!

I thought this was funny and sweet! I don't know if I will continue the series if it's just more vignettes/full slice of life without more background story but I did really enjoy this volume. I just really want to know more like how did he meet his wife? Does she know about him being in the yakuza? Etc?

I'm not sure I can express how much his book meant to me and how much I am still thinking about it. Incredible.

Cute and sweet!

This was really sweet! I've been a Nora - trying to hold friendships together so much it triggers anxiety - and Iris - burying myself in work to avoid something so scary so it really resonated with me. I think it will for a lot of teens, too.

Incredible art as always and some fun story improvements - Hayato in a BALL! Justice for BALLS.

I'm docking a star for unnecessary Sayla nudity. Bleh.

This is just the SWEETEST and I'm totally tearing up about it at work. Such a beautiful exploration of family!

I loved this! I was so pleased to see a genre book in the Printz lineup and this totally deserves it.

This book radiates love and care from Ogle's grandmother. She is a wonderful refuge in the face of awful circumstances for him.

This absolutely deserves all the awards it has won. It also deserves to be read slowly so that you can fully experience it. The relationship between Little Ash and Uriel is perfect and I loved seeing them both grow. A must read!

Hahaha Char is confirmed horse girl!

Yes back to my old White Base friends! The Belfast battle is terrible because of Kai and Miharu. I'm not even a big fan of Kai but seeing him so devastated and the crew not knowing who he is talking about really got me.

I'm glad to be getting back to the current timeline of the war and the White Base crew. Char is great and all but I gotta know what's going on my with Feddie folks!

This was great. It was beautifully written and a real page turner! I loved the Survivor-esque reality show framing and how it's about not just surviving, but becoming and being.
