The Luis Ortega Survival Club is such an important book. Please read the trigger warnings before reading this one, there were so many moments I just wished I could hug one of these characters. Sonora did a fantastic job of bringing a group of mistreated young women in to grieve, grow, and support one another during such a hurtful time. This book was so delicate and advocative, I had never felt as proud of a group of fictional characters before.
