I thought Regina George was mean, but nothing seriously could have prepared me for Everyone’s Thinking It. This is a richly diverse book, with wonderfully done queer rep, but most importantly, it loudly tackles classism, racism, bullying, and blackfishing. Personally, I liked this book because this is truly Mean Girls set in a boarding school with lots of romance, drama, and betrayal. The switching of the POVs between cousins Kitan and Iyanu really told this story well. I only had trouble with the pacing because it didn’t really pick up towards the end but were no dull moments, especially because not one character was left out, had their own personalities to show for, and the story itself had a pretty great conclusion.
