This is a story of two girls figuring out who they are and how to truly be themselves. It is told in verse, mostly alternating, but sometimes with dual voices as on this page, and including a chorus. I can be critical of novels in verse, but I think this one uses the format as well as any I‘ve read recently.

I simply adore this book. It‘s the YA lesbian story I needed when I was in middle school/high school. Given the way it‘s written, it‘s easy to read in one day. I couldn‘t put it down. I highly recommend it. Tam and Kate meet each other after school one day. And then all of a sudden they keep running into each other. Pretty soon they‘re friends...but maybe want to be more than friends. And if that‘s the case, what does that mean exactly?

Two girls in Grade 7 fall in love with each other and learn “there‘s no such thing as normal.” A sweet story —not saccharine—told in verse, which keeps the pace breezy. Voice alternates between the two main characters, with an occasional chorus by three onlooking girls named Alex. The #audiobook has five narrators, one for each voice, with words sometimes delivered in unison: it‘s a lovely production. #LGBTQ

Very cute MG about two girls "falling in like". Sweet and innocent, but I appreciated the struggles that they each felt with their own families and how that affected their actions at school. Told in verse, switching perspectives, and the poems sometimes came together in cool ways. I wasn't a huge fan of the "chorus" pages, I guess you could call them. But I whipped through this in an afternoon.

I read this 4 months ago when it came out and loved it! I wanted to make sure it was on the radar of the #middlegradeMarch readers 😊 Great story of two middle school girls “falling in like” and figuring out what the means. Told in verse, two perspectives. #huggable

What a much needed story for middle schoolers!
Loved it! These two characters are so likable and very real. #huggable #2019mglgbtq #2019mgnovelinverse #2019mgownvoices

I did hope for more of Levi‘s character ... then this morning it clicked! I already know Levi 🤦🏻‍♀️

I am enjoying this so much! I can already confirm (161 pages in) #huggable status 🤗

I really enjoyed this MG novel in verse about two middle school girls who meet and instantly fall into deep like. Tam is a volleyball player, Kate a cheerleader and when they meet, worlds collide—navigating different friend groups, parents, and the world at large, the two must decide to be true to themselves, and each other, or to what other people expect. A great story about first love and being comfortable with who you are. Recommended.

More new books in the library means more books to preview!!! Yay! Now reading...

Here's all the free books I got from #tla2019! Excited to read all of them, but Redwood Ponytail looks so cute and is told in verse!
