She's still a child. Over time, she might outgrow her self-confidence.Booklover Becca wrote: ↑10 Apr 2021, 09:30I was a little too at some points because she believes so strongly that she’s the only smart one and I could see that being really detrimental. Then again, I don’t find it hard to believe that a lot of eleven year-olds think the same way.
I've reviewed this book too, but your review is certainly better written. Congratulations.

They’re both so full of personality and spunk and want to do what’s best but are never entirely sure what that is. I’d highly recommend it!Miriam Molina wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 14:29 I have not had the pleasure of reading this book. Now I feel I am missing out. Kalayla seems quite the character, and Lena isn't far behind.
