I think it's a really good book about how sexism and feminism might manifest itself in the current high school landscape. It also mingled these topics brilliantly with the intersections of identies, family and immigration history, and the importance of friendships and being true to oneself. There was very little miscommunication (which I love) and the characters' choices and actions were, if not relatable, understandble, which portrays the complications of high school life really well! It's also just really fun and cute characters!!
