littleseal's review against another edition
5.0
Despite not going up in a small town or being a teenager in the 80s, I still felt a strong relatability to Robin and her struggles. At least once a chapter I would think to myself, "That happened to me" or "I agree" or "This is relatable." There was something truly captivating about the story, and the way it took Robin a while to realize her own sexuality is just so real. I'm going to say this is probably one of my favorite books of the year so far.
