The first thing you need to know about this book: it’s written in diary form. Huge thanks to Kayla Cagan, Chronicle Books Publishing, and Netgalley for granting me free early access to an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review! This in no way altered my read of or opinions on this book. Quick Reasons: realistic and true-to-life I LOVE how open-ended the ending is an interesting glimpse into family dynamics and sibling rivalries a focus on opportunity, self-preservation, and personal sacrifice Piper has an entertaining, strong voice, but she comes off a bit unreliable at times What is love? What is friendship? What is family? What is home? And who is a person when she’s missing any one of these things? Piper will have readers asking big questions along with her. But is she brave enough to seize that power, even if it means giving up what she’s always known? Debut author Kayla Cagan breathes new life into fiction in this ridiculously compelling, utterly authentic work featuring interior art from Rookie magazine illustrator Maria Ines Gul. Piper’s art just might be enough to get her out.
But in the final months before graduation, things are weird with her friends and stressful with three different guys, and Piper’s sister’s tyrannical mental state seems to thwart every attempt at happiness for the close-knit Perish family. It’s been Piper’s dream her whole life, and now that senior year is halfway over, she’s never felt more ready. The sooner she and her best friends can get out of Houston and into art school in New York City, the better. Piper Perish inhales air and exhales art.
