The Luis Ortega Survival Club is such an important book. Please read the trigger warnings before reading this one, there were so many moments I just wished I could hug one of these characters. Sonora did a fantastic job of bringing a group of mistreated young women in to grieve, grow, and support one another during such a hurtful time. This book was so delicate and advocative, I had never felt as proud of a group of fictional characters before.

Autistic rep? Yes. Queer rep? Yes!!
I really loved how much thought was put into this book and how much Love was obviously put into the character of Ariana. I love that she didn’t immediately label her incident with Luis and how it took her time to sort through her feelings, because that is very realistic. This was really well done and I really appreciated it as a survivor of sexual assault
