Amazing, & heartwarming read!!
This was such a cute, heartwarming story, with many important issues/themes/messages at its core. I enjoyed this so much. Flew through it actually. We alternate POV from one girl to another. They both used to be best friends, but then they grew apart when one became more popular & started being embarrassed by the other, who is a little awkward & has a nervous stomach. Ruby is the “awkward one”, & I enjoyed her POV the most, & I think she will be relatable to so many kids. I loved seeing her blossom throughout the story. When she found poetry club, & everything it did for her it was just so great. Brought new friendships, & new confidence, & less nervousness & anxiety. Her teacher was so incredible as well, & I can definitely see why she inspired Ruby so much. Teachers can be true angels on earth for kids. The other girl Mia also has some issues that can be relatable. I loved seeing her realize she didn’t have to do everything herself, didn’t always have to be in control, & always care what others thought when making choices-like who to be friends with. The art(also by the author)is beautiful as well, & I was just really impressed with this graphic novel, & now I want to get all the others in the series. The author said they can be read as stand alones also. Highly recommend. A book hug worthy read for sure.

Great Book
I relate to this book because in middle school its a bit harder to make friends,depends on how they act or if they talk behind your back. But this is a good book overall.
