I like this book because of the hay and the song.

I enjoyed it, but I almost felt like Sweetie was too perfect--Ashish was a good, kind person, but he also had some flaws which made him feel more real/natural, whereas Sweetie was presented as an almost perfect person which took me out of the experience. Plus, there were moments where Ashish's romantic feelings felt a bit too intense (as in, the way that Menon described it felt a bit sacchrine). Lastly, I wish Ashish's basketball issue (his lack of balltopia) had more time on the page since the only time it ends up really being mentioned is when they play HORSE and it turns into making out and then at the end when he finds balltopia again (although it's not clear if it was just a coincidence or what)

It was good

It was a cool book. My favorite part was when they rode with the knight.

Good

Very thought provoking. Though published in the 90s many points hold true today and have become increasingly relevant as racial tensions rise in America. I marked so many interesting facts and thoughts I ended up buying my own copy to keep all my notes in haha

This book was both heartwarming and heartbreaking with a touch of humor. The book is about a kid’s mom, who gets deported one day while he’s at school. But just to add to the drama, he loses a friend, has to take care of his little siblings alone, and tries to be elected school president. It’s an amazing book, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who has ever felt alone.

I learned when you eat sugar your body breaks it down into glucose. It spreads around your body and gives you energy

I like big foot in the story.

Finished the book. Like the show better
