About a Girl by Sarah McCarry
DNF
I can't count how many queer lit books feature self discovery as the main theme and plot. Thankfully this one was more about the protagonist, Tally, is trying to find her estranged father and learn about her also estranged mother.
The love interest(s) always came off as really angry???? Angsty transboy and angry lesbian. Why?
Got really confused about the races of characters. The author was trying to put representation and made valiant attempts but I still couldn't tell, probably doesn't help that the cover has two girls that look white.
REALLY WANT MORE CHAPTER BREAKS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE
The lack of chapter breaks and the way the Tally told the story reminded me of my high school textbooks 10/10 would not recommend writing YA like a textbook.
Will probably try to read this book again, probably would help if I read the other three even though I was told it wasn't directly connected.
