Gabi, A Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero

emotional funny lighthearted reflective sad

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

A fun and poignant YA read about a girl navigating high school, love, family and poetry. A combo I can't resist. This is pretty standard YA fare, but I loved it all the same. Gabi is hard not to like and I found myself laughing and crying with her in turns, and even cheering her on when...maybe...I shouldn't have. 
But that's the point: None of us are perfect but we all deserve to take up space just as we are.
