Reviews

"Such a delight! Alex Light's sharp sense of humor shines on every page. But it's the wonderful Rom under the Com that will keep readers rooting for Jackie and Wilson. Simply terrific!" Jenn Bennett, author ofAlex, Approximately "Set in the endearingly comedic world of Montes Magic Castle,Its Not Me, Its Youthoughtfully captures how it feels to be directionless and unsure at the outset of adulthood. Jackies voice is funny and engaging, and I loved watching her progress from enemies to allies to much,muchmore with Wilson. Alex Light has gifted us a sweet coming-of-age romance about one girls journey to chart her own course and figure out who she isand what happens when we stop focusing on everyone elses stories to start writing our own."

Booklist "A compelling look at complicated grief." Kirkus Reviews
