Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World
by Ashley Herring Blake

rep:
This was lovely. With fewer moving parts than a typical YA novel, the focus naturally remains on the emotions and self-discovery and relationships (which I really like); the characters are complex, imperfect in relatable but still sympathy-inducing ways, and the plot doesn't rely on contrived unnecessary drama for tension. Plus, Ivy's drawing scenes add even more color and whimsy to make this book pretty uniquely memorable.
