Review
This novel is a series of letters written by eleven-year-old Evie to her older sister, Cilla, who has gotten pregnant and sent away to live with their aunt. Evie's strict Catholic parents refuse to talk about what happened or allow any communication between her and Cilla. So Evie writes to her sister in secret, sharing her feelings, her confusion and lonlieness, and eventually her relationship with the new girl in town, June, who is becoming more than a friend. Evie wrestles with her identity and her Catholic faith all the while wondering why Cilla won't write her back. Heartbreaking and hopeful, this middle grade read reflects the struggles of growing up, questioning the world around you, and being true to yourself. A great addition to the growing body of LGBTQ lit.
Overall Book Score: very good
