A review by howifeelaboutbooks
Birthday by Meredith Russo
4.0
Eric and Morgan are such deep characters, and I loved getting to see inside of both of their heads and hearts. They both struggle with identity and self in such real ways, and I was so glad all of that was laid out on the page for readers. There were so many layers to this story - family relationships, school struggles, self-loathing and self-acceptance, friendship, love. It wasn’t too much, and it was all well-done and balanced to create a realistic world with characters you can easily identify with and understand. I highly recommend this book, and hope it gets as much, if not more, attention than Russo’s first book. It is well-deserved.
