My only qualm that was almost enough to drop to a 4.75, there was too much Christianity. As someone who has trauma from going to a religious high school it made me distrust the narrative sometimes.

I loved the characters and the diversity of the characters.
Grace is the new girl in town – a fat, Christian girl whose Mom is a preacher that was pushed out of town after she had an epiphany that all people should be treated the same (I’m paraphrasing but that’s the point). I love both the portrayal of her being fat (she just is – but there’s no story about her body) and her Christianity – she’s faithful but open-minded – how Christians truly should be.
Rosina is a lesbian Mexican and we get to explore her character through her relationship with her family, having to work as a teen to support her family, discrimination, and having undocumented family members.
Erin has Asperger’s and anxiety. While I don’t have Asperger’s, I do have ADHD which has a lot of overlapping with autism traits and I have anxiety. I felt that the author portrayed Erin very well.
The Nowhere Girls covers a number of very important topics including feminism, rape, sexual assault and harassment, victim-blaming, virginity, misogyny, racism, sexism, ableism, and so much more.
Moderate: Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, Racism, Sexism, Misogyny, and Ableism

I happened to watch the Netflix movie Moxie while reading this and they really go together well.
The girls in this book are strong af and stick to their guns even when they know trouble is afoot.
