Goth Girl, Queen of the Universe by Lindsay S. Zrull

5.0

Listen, you'll probably cringe at the first few pages until Oscar and Jess have their first conversation. It's kind of twee and try-hard for that very beginning, but that's the only thing wrong with this book.

It's about foster care and trauma of being separated from your bio family. It's about mental health and the ticking genetic clock, it's about found family, scream queens, anxiety, connections, finding the best weirdos who support you, LARPing, adorable first relationships, betrayals, and abuela's delicious snacks.

If you want to go on a ride through conventions and cosplays with your heart in your throat melting all the way into your belly, this is for you.
