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.
