The Big Trip by Rosie Jones
5.0
Content warnings: Discrimination, ableism, sudden illness, descriptive hospital scenes
I honestly wish these books where longer, but Rosie has such a talent for showing so much emotion and action in such few words.
I would say this is better than the first book, there's a lot more going on with a much more consise plot line. The story follows Edie trying to work out who she is, being influenced by bigots and general confusing life. Questioning her own thoughts about herself, is she more than just her disability? Is she 100% gay or 100% not? All kids end up at this point in their lives, but for kids like Edie, there's many more questions and a lot more pressure than others have.
I really would love to watch this series grow into something akin to Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I want to read about Edie growing up, going through school and perusing acting and/or writing! Cannot wait for book 3 :)
