As 11-year-old Fig copes with her dad’s mental illness, she finds herself jealous of the relationship developing between him and a helpful (male) neighbor, even as she develops a crush on a girl at school. It’s a bittersweet but ultimately happy story that avoids coming-out tropes and doesn’t shy from showing more than one queer person in a family. A compelling and compassionate book about family, relationships, mental illness, and sexuality.
