A review by lennofspades
My Riot by Rick Spears
5.0
I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley.
My Riot is a coming-of-age story where we follow the story of Val Simmons who has dreamed of becoming a ballerina her whole life, but found out that some things change while we grow up. Despite the riot and her parents telling her what she should do with her life, she was introduced to punk rock and have fallen in love with it so much that she even started her own band.
I absolutely loved ALL the characters in this story. My favorite was Val because I admire her for being so brave and for standing up for the things she wants. Her character was full of teenage angst and feminism, which I am totally into.
This book has already made it my favorites of 2020 and I am so excited for the release of this book. The cover, the art style, the plot — everything about this book is astoundingly beautiful. I am in tears.
Everyone should definitely read My Riot. I am 26 years old, yet finishing this book still made me realize that we should be who we are and fight for that no matter what. Its message has been clear: Don't lose who you are, just because the world wants you to be someone else.
