As a contemporary that's not particularly amusing or entertaining, its true merit should come from its emotional core. But while this book got super intense in sections, I always felt one step removed from the characters and essentially had no reaction. I hated no one. I connected with no one. On the same thread, and as I've mentioned earlier, neither of the relationships within the love triangle are developed that deeply, period.
This is a huge problem in a contemporary that's essentially made to be all about characters. There's a story about bisexuality here, and a story about identity, and a story about family, and a story about mental illness, and this Yet none of the plot threads are really concluded?? In Colbert's debut, Pointe , all the different stories and threads tied together very well for me. But this book doesn't develop any of the stories quite enough for them to fit.
Little and Lion ends up feeling like eight novels crammed into one book. I've seen a lot of reviews connecting the messy story to the diversity, which I think is bullshit. We should have Jewish black bi characters with mentally ill brothers in fiction— that's great and realistic. The problem is that Colbert tries to create conflict in a ton of aspects of the protagonist's life. The whole thing ends up feeling messy and underconcluded.
Underconcluded might be an understatement. By "underconcluded," I mean lacking real conclusion at all.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing! Brandy Colbert writes slice-of-life. But for me, it ended up feeling like nothing happened in this book besides a really, really overdone love triangle.
I mean, if you like slice-of-life contemporaries, more power to you and maybe you'll like this more. But for me? Messy plotting, characters that to me felt somewhat drab, and a somewhat upsetting love triangle killed this one for me. This was just not for me. Blog Goodreads Twitter Youtube View all 19 comments.

I'm sorry but I don't feel good enough about this book to write a proper review.
I think the bipolar rep was really well done, and so was the Jewish rep, it's probably one of the first times that I really felt like I could see myself, a Jewish person, in a book. But I disliked the bi rep. I know not everybody felt the same, and me not liking it doesn't other bisexuals who identified with it are bad bisexuals, because they aren't.
But I'm tired of having a bisexual character in a love triangle. I'm I'm sorry but I don't feel good enough about this book to write a proper review. I'm tired of seeing a bisexual character cheating, because I'm sorry but that's what Suzette did, it's emotional cheating.
It is, and it made me feel uncomfortable the entirety of the book, and I can't support that. I just can't. Can we please stop doing that? The only stars I'm giving to this book are for the beautiful Jewish rep.

After a school year away at boarding school, Suzette flies home to California to help support her stepbrother, Emil, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But things take a complicated turn when they both fall for the same girl. It was a way for her to carve her own space and separate herself from his illness. When she spends the summer at home, though, she realizes just how much she loves and misses spending time with him and misses being part of their LA community.
But perhaps the thing I loved most about this book is a little thing: Lion is a huge reader, and his story is peppered with book references. A must-read and easily one of my favorite YA reads…and it will certainly be one of the best YA reads this year, guaranteed. A knock out. Dec 12, Nic Stone rated it it was amazing. I had no idea I needed this book so badly.
For one, it features a black Jewish girl she and her mother converted when she was For another, it gives a wonderful example of how "family" isn't defined by blood or even by marriage, but by love and acceptance and a sense of belonging.
For a third, it offered a really seating look into the idea of loyalty and the moral dilemma major secrets can sometimes present--especially if by keeping a secret, someone could wind up hurt. I loved it so much! Nov 13, chloe rated it really liked it Shelves: audiobooks , reads. There was a lot that I loved about this, but there were also a few things I had issues with. Jul 03, Aimal The Devils We Find rated it it was amazing Shelves: contemporary , indigenous-or-authors-of-color , arcs , young-adult , read What worked?
Each one of them, but especially Suzette and Lionel her brother are given distinct personalities and character arcs. What didn't work? I wanted to see more flashbacks when their relationship was steady, and I wanted to see it deteriorate further. I just wanted more. So review to come. They keep secrets. They protect each other. I l strangesummerreading No. I loved how Lionel was a quintessential representation of a teenager struggling with finding a healthy life once he has a mental illness diagnosis.
His journey was heartbreaking for himself and his family, but so raw and true to reality. Through all their own brokenness, they are trying to love each other as best they can.
It was a beautiful tapestry of diversity and representation. That was my struggle with this book. You had a bi-racial and Jewish couple with a son who was bipolar and a daughter who was bi-sexual. I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just saying it was a struggle to believe that much could be going on in one family. She is a fugly slut. I know this was apart of her self-discovery and journey, but it really bothered me that she was still thinking of Iris, dreaming of Rafaela and kissing Emil.
Like girl, it's understandable to be confused and to not know what you want, but don't be with anyone until you know yourself then! A great story of hope, growth and the love of family, friends and one's self.

I really liked reading this book. It handled a lot of tough issues and it handled them very well. I went into this book rather blindly having never read anything by Brandy Colbert before and hadn't really seen any reviews for this book. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
They have had a lot of things to deal with over the years. Suzette and Lionel have always been close until his mental illness pulls him away but she never stops being there for him. Suzette is really working through a lot of different issues in this book and trying to figure things out. Her Diversity - This is a very diverse book. Suzette's family is made up of more than one race with Suzette and her mother being black while Lionel and his father are white. The first edition of the novel was published in August 8th , and was written by Brandy Colbert.
The book was published in multiple languages including English, consists of pages and is available in Hardcover format. The main characters of this young adult, contemporary story are Suzette,.
