A breathtaking story about identity and mental health that weaves topics such as love, acceptance and resilience in a hopeful but aching manner that culminates into an unforgettable narrative. While slow to read, I ended up enjoying this and will be recommending it in the library and beyond that space.

This story talks about identity and mental health.

Here's the main character, P, who keeps changing their name frequently as a part of their creativity. The character is so lively and driven at the beginning; full of vibes and a strong mind that wouldn't budge easily.

The dad is quite understanding though and I love reading about parents with never-ending patience dealing with their stubborn, chaotic teen kids. Also, there's another character struggling with an eating disorder.

The plot is quite character driven. Here's another character dealing with their gender identity. I really appreciate the representation of these characters. The story also focuses on the struggles of immigrants in getting proper jobs apart from being discriminated.

I just love the grandparents! I love how loving the entire family is.

The humour in the writing makes the read so much enjoyable. I was expecting a rather serious read when I started the book.

The story takes a turn when P discovers something she shouldn't have.

And the second half of the book ensues. It made me cry! I just wanted to protect P, her dad, her friends and there's this character who I wanted to know the most. My heart broke into pieces.

But well, things end well. I love how the mental health issues have been dealt with except for one character's mental health disorder which is likely to be depression.

I'm going to read anything and everything written by this author.

Thank you, author and the publisher @Atmosphere Press for the advance reading copy.
