Review "Ashley Herring Blakes novel captures the confusion, thrills and heartache of a first crush so perfectly that you will hold this book close to your heart."--Lisa Yee, author of the DC Super Hero Girls series "Blake creates a sensitive portrayal of a preteen whos begun to figure herself out but isnt sure how she meshes with others, and of the bumbling and overstressed, but well-meaning, friends and family around her."--The Horn Book "Blake captures all the exhilaration of a first crush without shying away from Ivys confusion....The sisters relationship is one of the great rewards of this novel that includes a large and vivid cast of secondary characters, who give the story its sense of abundant texture."--The New York Times Book Review "There are some books that we never forget. This is one of those books. Impactful, emotional, and important."--Erin Entrada Kelly, Newbery award-winning author of Hello, Universe * "This is an emotionally sensitive and elegantly written novel about loss and the first stirrings of love."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "Filling a much-needed gap in middle grade literature, this story addresses not just the topic of a first crush, but also the invisibility frequently felt by middle children...Young readers will find Ivys challenges very real and will sympathize with her choices, both good and bad."--School Library Journal, starred review "This necessary and emotionally complex addition to the body of middle-grade literature offers readers a positive, complex, and courageous portrayal of burgeoning sexuality and relationships within the world of junior high."--Booklist "A tenderhearted novel that should be in the hands of every reader."--Kat Yeh, author of The Truth About Twinkie Pie and The Way to Bea * " Ivys story is no mere niche-filler in LGBTQ middle-grade realism--its a standard-setter."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Prizes Commended for Stonewall Book Award (Children/Young Adult) 2019 Long Description In the wake of a destructive tornado, one girl develops feelings for another in this stunning, tender novel about emerging identity, perfect for fans of The Thing About Jellyfish .
