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.

This book.. was amazing. the writing is beautiful. it's a relatable book (unfortunately) with characters who are so diverse. this book is an inspirational tale of how people can stand up to discrimination and find themselves the way there. i would recommend this book to any person because they WILL find something valuable and a character to whom they relate. as an autistic girl who loves marine life, erin was such a relatable character and the way she was written made me feel heard. amazing read. the only comment i have is that after a few months, the themes are memorable, but the memory of reading it isn't as fond or impactful. if i were to read it again, the rating would surely move up.

This was a fantastic read. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to feel empowered, mad, and like there is some hope for change.

 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.
