If My Words Had Wings

- Reading
- Let the reader sample an opening extract, then agree to revisit the choice after a few chapters. Invite them to share reactions without treating the award listing as a guarantee of fit.
- Themes
- Diverse voices and representation: The book was placed second in The Diverse Book Awards’ 2025 YA Fiction category. The award placement establishes only that the book was recognised in the 2025 YA Fiction category; it does not establish what identities, experiences or viewpoints the story presents, nor how it treats them.
- Worth knowing
- Before choosing it, check the book’s own blurb or an extract for themes, distressing material, language, romance, violence and ending tone, since none of these are established here.
