Going Off Script by Jen Wilde
5.0
update, dec 3o 2020: this was just as delightful the second time around and I smiled so damn hard the whole time
Anyways this was perfection go read it.
In all seriousness though, this book blew me away. I will recognize that it objectively had some flaws - there were definitely parts that could have been developed a lot more.
But fuck I loved this book.
Going Off Script is a love letter to queerness. It so perfectly sums up so many of my feelings and experiences (as well as so many things that I personally haven't experienced, that are so important too). Reading it felt like a warm hug.
It didn't gloss over the difficulties, but that's what I loved. It shows the difficulties, it shows the hardships. And it says fuck it, you deserve better than this.
Bex and Shrupty (and the rest of the gang) refuse to be silenced. They refuse to stand for the same old bullshit. So they stand up and they do something. And reading that? That made me feel pretty fucking empowered.
This book is a love letter to queerness, and a big 'fuck you' to the allocishet white men who think they can get away with anything, and most of all it's a book about the power that queer girls - that anyone - can have if they stand up and fight.
Read this book y'all. It's pretty fucking amazing.
