Publishers Weekly
“In this empathetic novel of loss, resilience, and joy, Hitchcock (One True Way) and debut author Specht deftly balance Kate’s diagnosis with middle school drama, creating a deeply relatable telling in which community support and an openness to change lead to Kate’s hopeful visions of a brighter future. Kate’s dealings with FOP are candidly informed by Specht, who has FOP, according to an author’s note.”
“Kate’s fear, loss, and anger are vividly portrayed, and others’ awkward or ableist reactions ring painfully true. “
Amie Darnell Specht
