Thanks to Macmillan for the free advance copy of this book.
- JUST YOUR LOCAL BISEXUAL DISASTER is a lovely story about sifting through the complicated feelings of being a teenager, particularly one who's still figuring out herself and what direction she wants to take in life.
- This book tackles the uncertainties of being a young queer person, and how those get mixed in with biphobic stereotypes received from all sides.
- I love that this book centers queer kids of color, and how a love of the Rio Grande Valley shines through the pages. Maggie and her friends and family are both highly specific and broadly relatable. As a side note, I'm looking up if there's anywhere nearby where I could get a raspa ASAP.
