krista225 's review for:
Gabi, a Girl in Pieces
by Isabel Quintero
I would never have picked this book up on my own. The only reason I gave it a chance was because I had heard some Booktubers (you know, those bookish people on Youtube) talking about it. When it came on sale in the Kindle store, I thought why not give it a try. I'm glad I did. It was really very good.
Gabi is a high school senior struggling with her weight, family expectations, friends, frenemies, and a meth-addicted father. In journal entries she explores her feelings and thoughts about myriad aspects of her life and the education, both formal and informal, that she's receiving.
This book covers a lot of sensitive subjects: body image, sex, drug abuse, religion, and even death. It would make an interesting classroom read, but I imagine there would be some parents that would try to get it banned. Oh, the conversations it could inspire, though!
