Ratings and reviews

Always been a big fan of Noelle's work like Nimona and She Ra and the princesses of power, but this book is the best because it resonates with me and my daily life, with the subject of mental health and depression always being a part of the story, and it is refreshing to learn the story of Noelle from a young adult to her amazing life now!

I bought this because I finished She-Ra and was interested in the creator after following them on twitter. Relatable and gay and wonderful.
