Though marketed as a young adult novel, this breezy story is not “fluff.” It is a story for all of us as we navigate the world. Despite her self-doubts, questions, and confusion, Juliet is a character full of hope, optimism, joy, and courage. She is ready to be reborn, breathe, and live with honesty and authenticity.
I had heard of this book and thought about reading it, but I didn’t enter on my TBR list. I recently joined a book club for which Juliet Takes a Breath was the selection of the month. At first I was going to wait month to start reading their selections. I’ve had a busy month at work and had barely started the book for another book club that I lead. It seemed that everywhere I looked someone was talking about Juliet so I decided to take the plunge. I’m thrilled that I did.
It is a quick read; Gabby Rivera’s writing style is engaging. I wanted to keep reading. Work and fatigue were the main reasons that I would put the book down.
I enjoyed the development of Juliet and the complexity of the characters. I highly recommend this book.

In this coming of queer age adolescent novel, the main character Juliet gets the chance to have a research internship with her role model, Harlowe Bristowe. Discovering the queer society and her freshly coming out status, Juliet discovers her true self and desires. It is a good read for those trying to figure out their footing in the new age world.
