What would you say to your teenage self if you could?

Inspired by the journals she kept growing up, Sophie Lucido Johnson began an interactive conversation between her younger self and her current self. When she began the exercise, Sophie envisioned sharing important lessons on what it means to love your body, navigate relationships, and discover what fulfills you, no matter where life takes you. But as these "exchanges" deepened, adult Sophie discovered she had much to learn about life from young Sophie as well.

Fully illustrated with handwritten text, Dear Sophie, Love Sophie deftly explores topics like queer identity, body image, inherited trauma, belonging, privilege, heartbreak, first love, and much more in a unique and captivating way. Charming, witty, and poignant, it reminds us that wisdom is not limited by age.

Took me four months to read (but it's not bad!)

It took me longer to read this than it took for me to read Dune. I realize that this is very much a me problem. In fact, all problems I have with books are me problems.

I tooted about this but I was constantly annoyed by how self-congratulatory this came off. Which is the point!! The point of the book is to console, reassure, and validate Sophie’s past self. But I was just so tired of it maybe two thirds of the way through. Still, a very wholesome and feel good book.
