Girls Like Us by Gail Giles

5.0

Quincy and Biddy are self-described “speddies,” girls who were in special education and teased mercilessly because of it. This book details their life after graduation, and we see these girls adjust to adulthood despite the fact that they view themselves as lesser people. This book is not simply a story about a growing friendship and overcoming hardship, it’s a story about survival and empowerment. Quincy and Biddy learn from each other through their most painful experiences, and despite all of the suffering they endure, we are left feeling hopeful in the end. Overall a great read – I finished the book in a day!
