I glance over to see he has somehow managed to get only a single number past the free space. “Oh my gosh,” I say, laughing. “How is that even possible★” Content Summary: This is an LGBTQ+ novel so two young women are attracted to each other. It talks about liking how her hand feels brushing up against her own and more but no real intimacy except for one kiss. They do go skinny dipping but that is before any feelings are declared. My biggest concern about the book would be the grief for sensitive readers. It is hopeful like I stated above, but there are quite a few instances of difficulty with the grief. There are two F words with some some other language and teens drink alcohol. I’m going to get Johnny’s and Blake’s cards for them,” my dad says, choosing to ignore my skepticism, as he pulls out his billfold. “You know how hard it is to find parking.”

Her character development is satisfying to watch and I loved seeing her come into her own. She learned a lot about herself and her sexuality and learned to accept everything about herself.Pese a que el inicio se me hizo un poco lento y lineal, sin grandes acontecimientos que le dieran mayor sabor a lo que ocurría, a eso de la mitad se vuelven muy interesante y adictivo, con unos giros que no me esperaba y un final que me tuvo entre llanto y alegría. Although, I guess this has kind of been his thing lately. Pretending things don’t have meaning when they actually do. And I’m not the only one noticing. Literally everyone is looking at our table right now. So much for flying under the radar. I also think that the romance in this was cute. Emily was trying to find out her complicated emotions, and it was interesting to follow along with her journey, and I love her chemistry with Blake. The little things exchanged between them, the shared moments and experiences through completing the list was pretty adorable.

And suddenly Emily must face another fear: accepting the secret part of herself she never got a chance to share with the person who knew her best. The first number of the night,” Donna calls into the microphone, pausing as a group of elementary school kids three tables over start a drumroll. I catch a glimpse of Sue Patterson sitting in the corner just beside them, actively saying the rosary and sprinkling holy water over her set of four cards. Blake was such a strong character that I really wanted to learn more about especially since her mom also died but she never got the chance to meet her. She was also such warm and welcoming that I actually had a hard time thinking of Blake with someone else other than Emily. Plus I have to admit that they are good for each other :) Blake was also really open and honest about everything which made me catch the feels for her. For someone who just succeeded in blowing up her entire social life three weeks ago at junior prom, there is literally no worse place to be. Unfortunately, with said social life in shambles, that also means there wasn’t a single thing I could claim to be doing to get out of coming.This book is the kind of lesbian coming of age that I think is really important for younger readers. I can think of quite a few books I know with gay characters who struggle with the fact they’re gay. I can think of a lot of books with lesbian characters who know they’re lesbian and are out. There are much fewer I know that show the former, but for lesbians. But this is one of those. I think it’s very important to have LGBT lit that covers the full gamut of experiences. Yes, some people know straight away, and are comfortable with it. But we live in a homophobic society still, so it’s necessary to show firstly, that that’s not the only way, and secondly, that it’s just as valid not to feel that way. In this YA novel, Rachael Lippincottexplores some heavy themes, many of which are coated in joy. We initially meet an Emily who has shut herself off from the world (and feelings) after having lost her mother. She can’t explain—or doesn’t want to—why her relationship with her boyfriend Matt doesn’t feel right. Emily used to be adventurous, but now she calculates risks down to the percentile. Her friends miss the person she was before her mom died; so does Emily. This is a book about how the people we meet can be catalysts for growth and change in our lives but reminds us that ultimately, we transform ourselves. The Great, the Meh and the Oh No!

I watch as they shower down in front of me, forming a small pile. “If that card happens to win, I keep the prize basket.”
