So, at first, I struggled to really read the book because I felt that it didn't really pick up until the tail end, after I was 2/3rds through the book. I got bored a LOT, which sucks to feel when reading what was still a pretty good book! I give it the rating I have given it because 1) it's a children's book, so I won't be too harsh 2) In the end, this story had several heart warming lines and a message, which made me nearly cry. This book healed a special part of me - the part of me that is a little black-latine girl who didn't get books like these as a child. I really would love to see this as an animated series, to be quite honest. Here's to hoping it's in the cards!

Review of 'Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
SOOOOO. I reread this book after having initially bought it and reading it summer 2019. And despite how much rereading it stung, I loved it, and it gave me a weird burst of inspiration. These are the kinds of queer stories I long and am desperate to read. Real ones, with real situations - even 'normal' situations that 'normal' people experience. Us queer people deserve these kinds of real stories. I wish I had this book when I was younger, but I have this book now, and that's all that matters. I'm glad I reread this. It was good, and I will continue to recommend it to my friends - especially the ones that are lesbians.
