Thank you Netgalley for providing me an e-ARC and an audiobook.

"Beautiful things should stand out on their own"

This book is a lovely story of a girl named Gilly who's on a journey with her friend Oggy to find her father as they venture through the forest. She meets friends along the way - and renames them multiple times.

"Tangerines" perfectly captures the mind of a young child. I've felt a range of emotions as Gilly narrated her story. I love her relationship with Oggy, and how trusting she is towards him. Oggy is my favorite character in this book that he made me laugh. A few times. He was also unpredictable with a wide range of imagination which made it so fun to read.

I read this in one seating and I would recommend it to anyone. It was such a great read.

This is a very sweet, lyrical audiobook, beautifully read by Casey Montgomery.

Plot wise, not much happens; the focus is more on friendship and growing up. It's an easy listen but I did find my attention wavering halfway through.

The writing is lovely - It's quite melodic and flows well. It was a pleasure listening to it being read aloud.

The audiobook was mostly well produced but certain parts would repeat for me. I found this quite confusing but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment.

Overall, it's a very sweet middle grade book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ALC

I loved the format of this book. Reading via diary entry made me feel really close to the narrator. I really enjoyed getting to see a young minds perspective of life

This is a sweet child/preteen book. It is a journal type of writing style which isn’t my favorite, but it did allow for great insight into FMC viewpoint and a great reminder for what childhood thoughts/feelings were like.
