Yes- I read this in one day!
This is such an important book that validates the stories of two teens of marginalized groups. I love that this was written in a newslike format, with non biased approaches to validating the stories and backgrounds of both individuals involved. Dashka Slater is very talented at ‘world-building’; I feel fully immersed into the setting of Oakland, CA, and the experiences of all people in the book add to this world. I learned a lot, was extremely angry at most of the details recounted, and I will not forget anything about this book for a very long time.

wow. this was exactly the right book I needed to read at this season of my life. so many passages I will need to return to when I need comfort or encouragement to my soul.
so much of this book is just allowing yourself to be, and all of the metaphors that Glennon uses to illustrate and in courage growth will stick with me forever.
I read on audio, and it was incredible to hear the author read her own story. I’d also like to get the hardcover copy to make highlights, or to just show off the awesome cover!
This book would also make a great gift to anyone in your life, especially young adult women to hear the messages to denounce society’s ‘tamings’.
