I loved this book for many reasons. Firstly, the fact that the main character is black and Japanese. Yay for diversity! 
 Also, because of the amount of creativity used in telling the story. The illustrations are awesome and so are the main character's "book reviews." I felt like I was reading her journal most of the time. 
 I also love the relationship the main character has with her mom. It gets exhausting reading about teenagers that are rude to their parents, especially when they have really great ones. 
 There were times in the middle when the book did feel really slow-paced and I got sort of bored, but I felt like that immersed me into the main character's world even more. Of course it's boring when you aren't allowed to leave your house and you only get to interact with three people. 
 Maddy is one of my favorite protagonists ever. And reading this book made me grateful for simple things, like being able to go outside or touch other people. Great read!
