This is such a heartfelt read! Sydneys honesty about writing whats in your heart, especially tackling tough topics like addiction and family drama, is inspiring. Its funny how you can relate to the messy feelings Sage experiences, like wanting someone okay but keeping your distance – sounds like a middle school survival guide! Her vulnerability makes RACING THE CLOUDS incredibly relatable, and those real-life connections, like the boy needing his book, are just precious. Its wonderful authors like Sydney who tackle tough subjects with such heart and skill, proving books can be a lifeline. Her books sound like a gift, offering understanding and maybe a lighter heart. Thanks for sharing, Sydney – youve clearly found your calling!

This is such an inspiring read! Sydney Dunlaps vulnerability is truly touching. Writing about addiction and family estrangement from personal experience makes RACING THE CLOUDS incredibly relatable. I could feel Sages pain and joy as she navigates her complicated feelings. Her hope that the book helps others feel understood and encourages healing is powerful. IT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY sounds equally important, and those real-life connections she shares, like the boy at the school event, prove the impact of her work. Its wonderful authors like Sydney tackle tough subjects with such heart and skill. Her books are a gift to readers, offering both understanding and hope.
