I bought this book at the dollar store because it had a cute cover. I had no idea what it was about. 🙊 I'm so glad I did! What a sweet fun story about a summer some high school seniors met and formed an unlikely friend group. They decided to try and make a difference and they did! I would have totally loved this book when I was a teen!!
I don't know why I was so drawn to this book but I couldn't put it down. A bunch of kids spreading the love.
The Unliklies covers some heavy stuff--violence, addiction, and bullying--but it isn't overwhelming. It comes off as brain candy, though it isn't. I also like the diverse cast of characters. The book is set in the Hamptons, but with locals and not seasonal residents, so it seems beachy.

Side Note: Once home from the trip where this photo was taken, my cat ate my copy.
This is turning out to be such a cute quick read!!
This is what our reviewer had to say about #TheUnlikelies by Carrie Firestone "[THE UNLIKELIES] is an important and valuable read for all teen readers --- it is a book that teens will feel 'gets' them, a book that captures the essence of the teen experience and growing up."
