Honestly, I don‘t even want to rate this book because I really struggled with it. There is just something about this graphic novel just did not sit right with me. It felt too childish, which made it hard to connect with. Well, except for the fact that er loved David Bowie because shouldn‘t we all. #ReadBanedBooks for March.

3.2⭐️ Don‘t hate me, but I did not love it. Yet I cant say I hated it either because I appreciated a lot about it. It was effortlessly diverse, had fun moments, and it was an easy read. However, it was so hard to like many of the characters, it felt repetitive and it was to predictable. This was a recommendation for my #ReadBanedBooks challenge for February, and while its not my favorite reads, I‘m glad I read it. March #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo

5⭐️ I loved it! This book is banned because of its LGBTQ themes, but I think they were missing the bigger picture of the story. It‘s about being true to yourself and standing up for what you believe in. It‘s about facing persecution whether it‘s for gender, race or sexuality. It‘s about overcoming obstacles and learning that just because somebody has always been in your life doesn‘t mean they should be. #ReadBanedBooks

Littlewolf1 To tell you the truth when I started reading this, I did not know what to expect. It‘s not my type of book in any sense of the word. But Lily is an amazing character, and I found myself inspired by her strength. And the character development in the story is so good. The added timelines and backstory of the supporting characters really help to provide insight into the story progression. All in all, this book was terrific. (edited) 2mo
shortsarahrose I‘m so glad you liked this! 2mo
CatLass007 Unfortunately, all of the bigger themes that you mentioned probably still would have raised complaints from the banners. It‘s unfortunate, but true. People who want books banned accept their version of the truth alone. Everyone else is supposed to conform to their reality. Women and minorities should neither be seen nor heard. 2mo

Read4life I agree with your assessment. I, too, loved this book and Lily! 2mo
Littlewolf1 @CatLass007 You make a valid point. It‘s very disheartening how many people actually wanna steal another person‘s voice or make them feel less than. And the sad thing is, I doubt that anybody trying to ban this book has actually even taken the time to read it. 2mo
Littlewolf1 @Read4life yes, Lily was a powerhouse refusing lose herself in order to make other people comfortable. 2mo
CatLass007 This book is on my list to borrow from the library. 2mo
