Ordinary Girls by Jaquira Díaz

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

3.75

a very informative story regarding the intersections of race, mental illness, generational trauma, queerness, and being a woman. jaquira is a powerful force and makes it very clear that “ordinary girls” are deserving of peace, love, and protection — even when the environment and people surrounding you make it feel impossible.
