Take Three Girls by Simmone Howell, Fiona Wood, Cath Crowley
4.0
Take Three Girls is a really solid Australian Ya book. It follows three girls in alternating POV (written by three authors) through a Wellness program their school dreams up to combat online harassment (predominately body shaming and slut shaming) and promote self-esteem.
The book does a really great job of tackling the issues the school fails to address adequately through each of the girl's experiences both with actual online harassment. The teacher conducting the wellness class gave them really valid things to think about, but it was clear there were structural issues that were not being dealt with.
They managing the alternating POV and alternating authors with great skill, it's a very coherent authorial voice while maintaining the distinct voices of each character.
