ginkansas 's review for:
Gabi, a Girl in Pieces
by Isabel Quintero
This was a really cool little book. I found the narrator to be realistic and interesting, especially in her aspirations to writing and zine making. However, the book was possibly too ambitious in the number of topics it tried to cover: Teen pregnancy, drugs & addiction, body image & overeating (bingeing), rape. A lot of the take-aways and messages kind of got lost.
Recommended for: High school, Grades 9-12.
Red Flags: Teen pregnancy, drugs & addiction, body image & overeating (bingeing), death, & rape.
Read a likes: Kids who liked this book might also try The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley, both because of the graphic novel/ novel connection and because it had similar subjects.
