Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee
5.0
I really don't know how to start this review, because I have so much to say. I'm sure in one thing: this is the book tumblr community needs and wants to read, so I have no idea why this isn't more popular.
1. This book has Vietnamese-Chinese-American canonically bisexual main character, Jess. She's got a love interest a damn smart wlw girl named Abby. There's also black trans guy.
Like hello tumblr, that's what you want, and this book gives you exactly that: DIVERSITY!
2. What I also loved in this book is that these teenagers are damn cool. eg.: Jess asks a robot what her pronouns are, because she doesn't want to misgender her. another example.: Abby uses they/them pronouns at first for the trans guy, Bells, because she also don't want to misgender him, but Jess corrects her
Like tell me in how many books have you read a dialogue like this?
3. META-HUMANS! some people have these abilities, which can differ, like flight, magnetic field manipulation etc. Isn't this amazing?
4. The story is really interesting and it is greatly written.
So please give this book a chance, I swear you won't regret it.
