Personagens fracos, enredo fraco. Ponto alto do livro são os assuntos tratados, e infelizmente o livro acaba se perdendo nesse aspecto por volta do meio dele e focando nas jornadas individuais de cada personagem

Not sure why I never heard of this book before but I think it’s a must-read and I’m so glad I happened upon it.

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.
