Serena Says by Tanita S. Davis
3.0
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC.
*3.5 stars
Serena Says is a slice of life story about Serena's 1st semester of 6th grade after her best friends gets a kidney transplant. Serena and JC lose touch after a new girl comes to school.
The best thing about this book is the effortless diversity. Most of the characters are different from each other and it's not a big deal. I also like that Serena is a Black character and her story doesn't revolve around Black pain.
I found that the student's actions in student senate seemed a little too old for middle schoolers. They came off too old and responsible.
The story is cute overall. I liked the vlogging elements and the characters.
