betweentheshelves 's review for:
Harley in the Sky
by Akemi Dawn Bowman
Read my full review at between-the-shelves.com
One of the most alluring things about this book is Harley's drive to follow her dreams. While her path hurts a lot of people along the way, she's not afraid to go after what she wants. Harley is brave, even if she is a bit impulsive at times. You're rooting for her throughout the entire book, desperately wanting her to succeed at what she's always dreamed of: being able to fly in the circus. You're also rooting for the fully fleshed out side characters, Vas, Vivien, and Dexi, to reach their dreams, too.
Throughout the book, Harley deals with mood swings and has a lot of discussions about the fact that she doesn't feel in-between; her emotions are very black and white. While this is never labeled as anything in the book, it's clear there's some sort of mood disorder happening. Additionally, there are discussions about therapy and mental health, but nothing comes of them because Harley's parents are against it. However, by the end, there's a note of hope that this will change in the future.
