Yellow is a weird story, the story of a girl who's to young to be dealing with everything she has laid in front of her, bitchy friends who bully and pick at her, a mother suffering an alcohol addiction and break up, a boy on the phone who dies 20 years ago, a supposed murderer she's been tasked to bring to justice, a new friends, a new crush, basically a lot for any grown adult let alone a girl of 14. 
 The writing is beautiful, the story is melancholy and hopeful, Kirra is such a strong teen and makes mistakes that she deems necessary. 
 Willow is a badass and I want to be her bestie, someone who's not afraid to be herself, to speak up for woman and roar at the sky. The girl can take on the world and win making smartass comments as she does. 
 Boogie hurts my heart, he makes me ache for all the lost teens, all the teens faced with bullies and the bad luck of being born into a shit family. 
 Kirra's Dad Lark is a dick but he's a charismatic dick and I loved he's relationship with Kirra. Kirra's Mum is suffering, she's overcome by alcohol but like all people she has her reasons, her dark spaces, her guilt that's eating at her. 
 Every character is complex, messy, sad, and happy. This book is unlike anything I've read and I'm so happy I finally picked it up.
