The List of Things That Will Not Change by Rebecca Stead

5.0

I was utterly charmed by this book. Bea is such a genuine, flawed character and so, so relatable. It covers a lot of ground--Bea sees a therapist because of anxiety, anger and impulsiveness issues, she is a bad speller, she has eczema. There are a couple of instances of homophobia. But there are a ton of loving, supportive people around her and it is such a warm and hopeful book. The only thing that struck me is that sometimes the voice feels a tad young for a twelve-year-old.
