A funny and heartwarming teen romance story! A few fun plot twists, a beautiful ending, and an amazing road to tell a fun story that always rounds back to Emily's crush, and also Romeo and Juliet!

It was funny and I liked how it was realistic fiction and she didn't like her teacher at first but ended up liking her.

I found this easy to read, informative and relatable. A great read for anyone and a recommended read for everyone

I like Bluey barky boats because I like when calypso teaches them that it can be hard to be in trouble so she says there are six year olds floating along nice river. They turned seven years old eight years old nine. 11 down the stream and then they wait for their buddies to come back patiently.

I found it very haunting and beautiful . Inspired me to live with integrity . But it was a little derivative and definitely too short ! More of a novella when it needed about 200 more pages !

5 STARS!!! no explanation needed.

Life is an amazing journey. I think I'm the luckiest one to have won the lottery.

I like Pete's robot

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

Kids loved reading it
