Goth Girl, Queen of the Universe by Lindsay S. Zrull
5.0
I will champion this book to the ends of the earth. It is so beautiful and wholesome and heartbreaking and magical and I loved every second of it. I legitimately cried and I’ve been telling everyone I know about it as I’ve read it this week. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.
This beautiful masterpiece showcases the foster care system, it’s heroes and shortcomings. It champions geekdom, fandom, inclusivity, and cosplay. It’s feature so many cool quotes from various pop culture icons and Edgar Allan Poe. Mental health is a huge topic in this book and as someone who struggles with several anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder the representation is so important and that well done. The author perfectly captured the energy and excitement and diversity in cosplay and conventions. They also highlighted judge mental and misguided individuals who unfairly judge or gatekeep certain characters from certain peoples and how beautiful it can be to empower people to be who they want to be.
Hands down one of the best books I’ve read this year. If you want a diverse cast, romance, mental health, infused with spectacular geek representation and cosplay goodness pick up this book.
Don’t walk, RUN! This book was amazing.
Thank you Netgalley for this lovey ARC!!!
