Kiko Himura has always had a hard time saying exactly what she’s thinking. With a mother who makes her feel unremarkable and a half-Japanese heritage she doesn’t quite understand, Kiko prefers to keep her head down, certain that once she makes it into her dream art school, Prism, her real life will begin.

But then Kiko doesn’t get into Prism, at the same time her abusive uncle moves back in with her family. So when she receives an invitation from her childhood friend to leave her small town and tour art schools on the west coast, Kiko jumps at the opportunity in spite of the anxieties and fears that attempt to hold her back. And now that she is finally free to be her own person outside the constricting walls of her home life, Kiko learns life-changing truths about herself, her past, and how to be brave.

incrível!!

nem acredito que pela primeira vez me senti representada em um livro.
tendo traços herdados da minha família japonesa, a autoaceitação sempre foi muito complicada, e por isso me identifiquei TANTO com a Kiko, também por conta das coisas com que ela teve que lidar.
no mais, gostei muito muito do livro, tirando a raiva que sentia da mãe dela...
também é lindo acompanhar o desenvolvimento da relação da Kiko com a arte ♡ recomendo imensamente
