Can’t wait to read this ❤️
This was one amazing rollercoaster ride, my jaw is on the floor. @louisareid 's latest - ACTIVIST - really packs an emotional punch. It's a strong, heartfelt and oh so powerful verse novel. Louisa's ability to play with language, to write so succintly with such depth is wonderful
