I'm glad this was my first book of 2024. This debut YA story was like a warm hug to younger me. I saw pieces of myself sprinkled throughout Jessie's experience, from learning to navigate social expectations at a young age, to writing out a list of goals that feel absolutely essential at the time of making them. I hope other neurodivergent girlies pick this up too, it's a story that feels both specific and universal at the same time. Would recommend! 

super cute! i related to jessie quite a bit in terms of her autism and love the representation. that being said there is a scene where she takes a microphone to give a random speech on stage and that has got to be one of my least favorite things in all media and it made me want to rip my skin off but i understand it was for the plot so slay.
