I started reading this book as the galley and ran out of time but I’m glad I revisited it in its final format. The book is beautiful. It’s all done and blues and shades of red and pink and these colors help elicit an emotion. We follow Phoebe as she heads to an art collective for a summer workshop. Her best friend was just admitted to the hospital under suicide watch. Phoebe spends her time at the art collective finding out who she is without her friend, and how she can be there, but give someone space at the same time. She also finds more of herself along the way. This book was beautiful. The story is one that I think many can see themselves in. It works well and should be on many shelves, both public and school libraries for years to come.
