Decent

Review by EHN27

I'll admit it wasn't my favourite book. It felt like a bit of a slog. But it was good, and I can relate, being Jewish with Indian heritage.

Good book

Review by ChefSing

I recommend this book for middle school (5th-7th grades) readers. It shows the experiences of a girl that is different from everyone else at her school.

I loved this book

Review by CharChar09

I loved this book. It was a book about a girl trying to find herself- trying to find out who she is. Really good book, you should get it.

Super interesting-a must read!

Review by Cupcake2020

The Whole Story of Half a Girl was super fun and interesting. It has a lot of suspense and cliffhangers. This isn’t just a book you will read once and be done with! I re-read this again and again! I really recommend this book.
