Some Girls Do by Jennifer Dugan is fitting (in my opinion) for mostly a middle, high or even college aged group, particularly if you are looking for books with characters who are trying to make their voices heard in a society where LGBTQ+ voices are forced into a soft mute. One of the mc’s is a lesbian and another is queer but doesn’t have a specific label. Morgan Matthews moves to a somewhat small area during the last leg of her senior year. She’s comfortable in identifying as a lesbian and her private school didn’t exactly see eye to eye with her sexuality. Morgan meets Ruby, a girl who is coated with rumors about being trash, hookups only and untrustworthy, despite very people actually being in her circle. When the girls get close, a lot of feelings surface, some Ruby’s been forced to hide while Morgan wants to be open. I did enjoy the fact that Morgan & Ruby learn a lot not just about one another but the harsh reality that not identifying as straight in a predominantly white neighborhood can still have consequences that skin color can’t protect. I loved the glimpses we were given when it came to Morgan being a distance runner (I am too & I coach distance at my school) & Ruby fixing cars. The side characters were well rounded enough to pique my interest although I wish the diversity wasn’t secluded to just them. I think my main let down was, the situations the duo find themselves are mostly due to poor conversations and coping skills that aren’t portrayed in a healthy way.

Yes, yes, yes. I loved the characters, the angst and the plot. This was such a good read and I loved the short chapters! Also, Aaron is officially the best side character ever.
