Loading... Once More with Chutzpahby Haley Neil
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  reader1009 | Apr 3, 2022 |   The story was told well. I like that Tally was dealing with so much at such a young age, it makes the story more relatable. Tally's focus on her brother's problems instead of her own is something I think we can all relate to; it is easier to see a "solution" when the problem isn't yours. I really enjoyed when the group shared their stories of not being "Jewish enough" it was eye opening and I hope that this discussion helps others deal with this issue.

HTML:A moving YA debut about a girl who grapples with questions of her Jewish identity, mental health struggles, and sexuality while on a temple exchange trip through Israel. When high school senior Tally and her twin brother Max head off on an exchange trip to Israel over their winter break, Tally thinks it will be a good distraction for Max; he might be trying to hide it, but she knows he's still struggling in the wake of a car crash that injured him and killed the driver. Maybe this will help him get back on track and apply to college the way he and Tally always planned. But as the group travels across the country, Tally realizes her plan might not be working, and that her brother might not be the only one with a lot on his mind. When a new relationship gets complicated in the face of her own anxiety-about her future, her sexual and romantic identity, and her place within the Jewish diaspora-Tally must grapple not only with the past, but also with what life will be like when they get back home. Debut author Haley Neil offers a relatable and deeply felt story about identity on the cusp of adulthood. No library descriptions found. |

I picked this book up off the new teen fic shelf at the library on a whim, pleasantly surprised by how much the author managed to pack into a short summer trip. Liked this even more than I thought I would. (
