Astronomy-loving Calliope June has Tourette syndrome, so she sometimes makes faces or noises that she doesn't mean to make. When she and her mother move yet again, she tries to hide her TS. But it isn't long before the kids at her new school realize she's different. Only Calliope's neighbor, who is also the popular student body president, sees her as she truly is--an interesting person and a good friend. But is he brave enough to take their friendship public? As Calliope navigates school, she must also face her mother's new relationship and the fact that they might be moving--again--just as she starts to make friends and finally accept her differences. Ellie Terry's affecting debut will speak to a wide audience about being true to oneself.

"Well then...<br/><br/>This is gonna be the longest review I've written in a while:<br/><br/>I like this author's writing, and I know this is probably not going to be the last book of hers I pick up even if it's the first. <br/><br/>(Although, sadly none of her other books are in audio so it will be unlikely. I mostly, if not ONLY read through audiobooks.)<br/><br/>I genuinely appreciate her writing.<br/><br/>And this was supposed to be easily a 4 or 5-star book, because the author is very talented, and her words just melt in your ears, (strictly audio listener here) and her story flow is smooth, but there is a big BUT coming.<br/><br/>I haven't cared for a book's "message" since High School. I read now and will continue to read for my own enjoyment and not be "taught" something.<br/><br/>BUT for some reason, I feel like this book was trying to teach me that cheating is okay lol. Out of all the lessons..."
"This story is told in verse and was very pleasant to listen to as an audiobook. The only reason I even borrowed it was because I knew I could finish it in an hour and a half, but I truly ended up enjoying it. I've never read a book from the perspective of someone with Tourette's, and wasn't really familiar with how it worked. I've also never listened to an audiobook in verse before and need to listen to more. Also <i>also</i>, contemporary middle grade is another thing I forgot I was missing.<br/><br/>Btw I never kept in contact with a single friend who moved away in middle school. Haha"

"4.5 out of 5 stars<br/><br/>Tropes/Triggers<br/>enemies to lovers<br/>taboo<br/>st@lking - behind-the-scenes bodyguard<br/>age gap<br/>daddy kink<br/>drugged FMC - s0mn0philia<br/>multi-pov<br/> <br/>Rhea grew up unconventionally with her mom teaching her at a young age how to become a con artist. Moving all over, never staying anywhere too long, Rhea never made friends or learned how to form relationships. Finally turning 21, Rhea decides she wants to have a fresh start and find a place to settle down and live a normal life. <br/><br/>Alaric has always been there for Rhea, just never letting her know. He's OTT possessive, touch her and d!e, and he will make sure she's safe, even if she hates him for it. But he will never give her up, and he plans to make sure she knows.<br/><br/>Those of you who love dark, toxic, love... this is for you. The spice level is around a 2.5/3 rating. Slow burn, spice doesn't occur until almost the end of the book.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, there is a lot of repetitive information that is unnecessary to be repeated, especially within a few chapters. A few minor spelling/grammar errors. Not enough to throw the story away."
