The Lonely Book by Meg Grehan
An OwnVoices middle-grade novel-in-verse. Loved the theme, liked the story, disliked the poetic bits.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments Princess Diana may have been the last truly shining light in the British royal family. Children's author Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara doesn't shy away from the divorce and bulimia - unusual for a children's picture book - but focuses on her well-known kindness to all.
