A review by tishywishy
The Revolution of Birdie Randolph by Brandy Colbert

4.0

This books hits on so many topics that I wasn't expecting but definitely took it to another level:

-Parental expectations/pressures and how it shapes who we date.
-Asexuality
-LGBTQ identities
-Juvenile Detention
-Racism and how it affects young black boys in particular
-Substance Abuse
-Family secrets

We see and experience it all through the eyes of Birdie who is trying to navigate pleasing her parents and be a regular teenager. It heartwarming, uplifting, and definitely a good read.
