Are there sentences I wish Choi had never penned (or at least had edited out)? Yes. Chief among them, “It reorganized her thoughts with such an intensity that she had the sudden urge to pee.” Still, this book is *compulsively* readable. I loved the sci-fi story-within-a-story that Penny crafts for her Creative Writing course. And I‘m a sucker for both misfits *and* an epistolary component (be it letters, emails, or texts)…👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1:…as well as difficult mother-daughter (or mother-child) relationships. Imperfect and sometimes a little immature but still full of promise and wholly devourable. 52m

We Are All Made of Molecules, by Susin Nielsen (2015 🇨🇦)

Premise: Two Vancouver teenagers adjust to challenging new realities when their parents decide to move together and blend their families.

Review: This is a rare YA novel with characters who read as young as they are, which is a bit jarring since the book deals with some mature themes. I thought this was pretty successful and had some lovely messages about belonging and found family. Cont

I meant to post this yesterday, my April picks for #Roll100. I only managed to read one of the March books, but I blame that partially on my books being boxed up for half the month. Looking forward to doing better in April!

I really thought this was an interesting way to tie up the duology. It very much had the same interesting world and characters but there was a deeper look into overcoming trauma that the first only lightly touched on. I really liked seeing a glimpse into more backstory into the conditions of the first volume.
