I can not say enough good things about this book! Kiko is a Japanese American girl who suffers from anxiety. Kiko lives with her 2 brothers & their mother (a stereotypical blue eyed blonde all American girl) who is a bullying Narcissist who dismisses her children‘s feelings while seeking validation from them.
Kiko dreams of being an artist, of going to art school, of being enough.
Starfish is beautiful. I devoured it & recommend it to everyone.
