Clearly a book meant for a teen audience, and a young one at that. An interesting read, and quick, but the writing was a bit choppy and repetitive. This would be a good book to have in a middle grade collection because it does fill a void.

Dragged this out of the depths of my tbr because I wanted something a little on the lighter side. We'll see how it goes.
I read this book last weekend and I really enjoyed it. I will warn you that it does include some problematic scenes, so be aware! Still 5 stars though! You can read my full review in English on Goodreads (I'm Mariesen) and in Danish on my blog, mariesen.dk 😊
There are so many amazing UKYA LGBT books out there but I have chosen Girl hearts Girl because it's just that little bit different. This book is a memoir and it is full of struggles, difficulties and finally learning to love yourself. It ends with hope and happiness and that is just perfect. #UKYANov
Growing up in a small town in the 90s, there were incredibly few LGBT books available to me - I think that I read a tiny handful as a teen, stumbled on by accident. Visiting my parents today, I called in their local bookshop (Waterstones) and was completely thrilled to find Lucy Sutcliffe's memoir not just in stock, but face out on the shelf! There is still a long way to go, of course, but it reminded me progress HAS been made.

I LOVED this book. It was beautifully written and so relatable as someone who struggled with my sexuality when I was young. I highly recommend this book for any LGBT people or friends of them ??
My current #tbrtuesday. Too many to pick from, never enough reading time, and I'm on day three of a stupid migraine, so I can't make a decision anyway.
