2024 book 96

 Leah Hager Cohen's To & Fro

This is one of those books where you can read one half of it, or flip it over and the other half of the story is on the other half of the book (this is one thing ebooks don’t do well, and the last chapter has the stories come together in a cool formatting thing, which doesn’t translate to the ebook at all, and I wonder how the audiobook would handle it). Anyway, I started with “To,” which involves a young girl traveling on a journey accompanied by a tiny kitten, and it STRESSED ME OUT. So I switched over to “Fro,” which involves a young girl in our world, and loved it. And then I had more context and went back to “To” (important note: THE KITTEN IS OKAY). Really interesting book, sad but hopeful. A-.
