When We Collided by Emery Lord
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story is chaotic and delightful on so many levels. Vivi and Jonah are complex, well-developed characters who are dealing with a lot of big issues, such as Vivi’s bipolar disorder, and the fact that Jonah’s mom checked out after his father died, leaving him to carry the burden of parenting his younger siblings.
This story manages to be both playful and heavy. It probably deserves a 4.5, but I’m going to stick with my original gut-impulse rating system.
