Reminiscent of Maureen Johnson’s 13 Little Blue Envelopes and Jason Reynolds’s The Boy in the Black Suit, this is a gentle and moving exploration of grief and what it can mean to move forward without a loved one, perfect for fans of romance and realistic fiction.
A unique collection that is unflinchingly honest and infused with hope. These valuable lessons of empathy, self-care, and acceptance will inspire all readers and will be especially encouraging for young people who are living with HIV.
Monir deftly balances familiarity for DC fans and accessibility for new readers, blending superhero origin with coming-of-age tale in an excellent book for fans of comics and dystopian fiction, as well as reluctant readers.
The themes the story attempts to address are admirable, and the solemn tone is appropriate, but the heavy-handed execution results in an underwhelming tale for readers beginning to explore these topics. An additional purchase.
The emotional descriptions are a bit perfunctory and consequently some of the events don’t land with the expected emotional weight, but overall this is a strong debut. Will appeal to readers of Angie Thomas and fans of criminal justice podcasts like Serial and In the Dark.
