Snowflake is a coming of age novel about Debbie, who lives on a dairy farm with her mother and Uncle Billy. Debbie's life is beyond unconventional, and the novel tackles mental health in a very real way. I'm amazed that this was Nealon's debut � it's so powerful and beautiful. It felt like a hug from a loved one after you've had a breakdown.

Some parts were quite uncomfortable, but that just gave nuance to the reality of growing up right now. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it.

TW: mental health and suicide.
