Read this whole thing in one sitting on my relaxing Sunday and I'm so glad I did. Not only is this about a crew of bad-ass teen girls fighting to keep an indie bookstore open, but it features real, raw, and sometimes unlikeable female characters that are as diverse and flawed as teens actually are in truth. We love to see it! The only other diversity element I would have liked to see is body size. This is my first by Amina Mae Safi, but I don't think it will be my last. She is not afraid to get real, and I dig that so much.
