Shai is a relatable main character who tries to solve the problems in their life by making a drastic change: attending public school for the first time and going beyond their comfort zone by making new friends. Shai is also exploring their Jewish heritage, but their mom's ongoing difficulties with her family make it hard for Shai to learn more about it. I hope that Shai's struggles with anxiety help inspire readers to realize that if they have anxiety, depression, or another mental health issue, they don't have to try to face it alone.
I enjoyed reading a book with a character who is genderfluid, homeschooled, and Jewish like me!
This is a great book that combines Judaism with LGBTQ+. Every step of the way I squealed in delight as the plot unfolded. I do kind of wish there was a dance scene, but other than that it is a great merging of being queer and being Jewish.
This is one of the first books I read with a Non-Binary main character and I really liked the book.
I thought it would have a school dance in it and I'm disappointed that it did'ent.
