The nowhere girls are all of us. I love that this book featured three misfit friends, one on the spectrum finding her vouce, one latinx finding her strength, and one "fat" girl finding her confidence. All the different girls coming together against injustice. 

A banned book for a reason... All should read it. Females will understand it, males could learn from it.

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

This book is absolutely the product of its time. And it is absolutely the book we need.
A group of school girls decide to do something about the rape and rape culture around them. And they are amazing. I believe this is the perfect YA novel for all, because everyone needs to learn about these issues and to learn how to be better.
