"In I'm Good and Other Lies by Bev Katz Rosenbaum (Cormorant Books), Kelsey is a high-school senior who, when the pandemic hits, gets stuck at home with her family.

"Although the subject matter was heavy at times, there was humour in the darkness. Bev Katz Rosenbaum expertly navigated the difficult subject matter with well-timed humour and lightness...This was an incredibly engaging read and I had a hard time putting it down."-- "Storytime with Stephanie"
