Will do magic for small change6/12/2023 ![]() The figure that’s missing is Cinnamon’s father, Raven Cooper, who’s in a coma after jumping in front of a bullet that was meant for a lesbian couple. Her mother, Opal, is dealing with a bevy of issues, and Cinnamon takes inspiration from the other adults in her life: her grandparents, Redwood and Aidan, “theater people” who’ve traveled the world and who do hoodoo Redwood’s sister Iris, an Oberlin professor obsessed with textiles who writes Cinnamon letters (and who wrote Sekou, too) and Star Deer, dancer extraordinaire and substitute math teacher. Cinnamon is lonely and fits in nowhere-she’s smart and observant, which means she tends to ask questions and voice opinions that people don’t like, and “theatrically challenged” (which means that she’s too tall and too heavy to be cast in plays, even though she’s a powerhouse). ![]() The second narrative, which is set in the 1890s and moves through parts of West Africa, France, and America, is contained within a mysterious book called The Chronicles that Cinnamon spends much of her narrative reading. ![]() One of these is set in 1980s Pittsburgh, where Cinnamon Jones has to cope with the recent suicide of her brother, Sekou. Andrea Hairston’s Will Do Magic for Small Change alternates between two narratives, both of which are full enough to be their own novels. ![]()

![]() ![]() She loves a meet-cute Netflix movie, her pet, Lady Catulet, and dreaming up the Gay Rom Com of her heart for the film festival competition she and her friends are entering. Thank you to Delacorte for a free review copy I Think I Love You is out on March 2, 2021Īdd I Think I Love You to your Goodreads shelf and preorder it here This is an excellent selection for younger teen readers who are new to YA and fans of contemporary! It’s about mending friendships, growing up. Overall, this is a light, quick read with a cute queer romance at the heart of the story. I loved that the author added in some issues that many teens are facing in real life and allowed the girls to work through their emotions. Both girls are dealing with a more serious subplot–Emma is trying to figure out how to come out to her parents and Sophia is dealing with the aftermath of her parent’s divorce. I Think I Love You is a dual narrative told from both Sophia’s and Emma’s POV and I loved that we got to see each girl’s perspective. But their friends quickly find a way to make the two girls realize they might be more than friends. ![]() They start out the novel completely against each other and only talk to bicker and argue. Sophia and Emma, two teens living in NYC, share the same circle of friends but think they have nothing else in common. I Think I Love You is a cute, summer adventure about two enemies falling for each other while competing against each other in a film competition. ![]()
