This AMAZING book wove four stories together: Libby's story - a creative, caring girl who makes inspirational index card notes; Jack's, a boy who is trying to save his school but is struggling with the loss of his younger sibling; T's, a nonbinary kid who has run away from home and is living on the street; and Vincent, a boy who loves triangles and puffins and is bullied mercilessly.
When one of Libby's notes reaches Vincent across the country, it has a profound impact on him, but that impact has ripples that affects others.
This had ALL THE FEELS. I got chills at times, and I had tears in my eyes at others. Its messages were profound: that one small act of kindness can have a huge impact, that all you need to be is YOU - whoever that may be, bravery can come in many forms. And yes, the story explains at a basic level what being nonbinary means, bit it is SO much more than that. It is a brilliant, beautiful, and important work of fiction.
