The Girl, the Ring, & the Baseball Bat | Camille Gomera-Tavarez
1 post | 1 read
Rosie: Capricorn. Does great in class. Wants nothing more than to get into the prestigious Innovation Technical Institute and kiss this awful school goodbye. Her talisman: a magical jacket from her mother's past that gets people to do whatever she says. Caro: Taurus. Rosie's older sister. Always been closer to their estranged father and always butted heads more with their strict mother. A trip to Dominican Republic for her father's wedding leads her deep into family history that clears up any illusions about her parents she's ever had. Her talisman: a baseball bat that fixes whatever it breaks. Zeke: Certified Triple Pisces. Up in cold-ass Jersey City living with his aunt after his grandmother dies and his father moves to London to take care of his mother. He crushes on EVERYone he knows he'll find happiness in love, and maybe a way out of this depression. His talisman: a manifestation stone that will make anyone fall in love with him. Rosie, Caro, and Zeke and their talismans find themselves intertwined in a magical, hilarious, and whip-smart Outsiders for the modern day, written by Camille Gomera-Tavarez, a 2022 Publishers Weekly Flying Start.

The characters in this story are just 👏amazing👏. The story follows two sisters (Caro & Rosie) and a guy named Zeke who they...kind of adopt lol! There's a lot to unpack, discrimination in the school system (relatable), secrets and drama at home, and Zeke being a triple Pisces...idk what that means but boy lives in romance and it gets prickly. I honestly love the whole thing! Tho Zeke's story feels a bit disjointed? Compared to C&R's
