Star-Crossed by Barbara Dee
4.0
4.5 stars.
This was SO DEAR. So, so dear.
I don't read a lot of middle grade, but middle grade F/F with a bi heroine, I was always going to be SUPER HERE for this. This book could be so important to young queer readers, and I'm so grateful and happy it exists. Mattie was a delight, Gemma was wonderful, in terms of the girl who likes another girl aspect, this is so not dramatic at all and just lovely and cute.
The half star is subtracted for the amount of Mean Girls in this book that just weren't needed at all, nor did they add anything to the story.
