This is a MG novel about 2 of ne'er-do-well friends who get involved in period equity activism. Both girls start out as chaos goblins - the bad behaviour (“pranks“) they engage in and the way they're coddled for it is grating on me. It feels like there's a huge helping of white privilege going on, and while I appreciate the baby-feminism aspect, I'm just not sure about some other aspects. The worst threatened consequence is fancy private school.
pickJewell always manages to hook me in. While the ending made this one a soft pick for me, the pacing was great. I appreciated that Alix's ignoring of major red flags felt like a natural progression here - she's just too far into the story to back down now. I like my fiction tied with a bow, so some of the ambiguity at the end annoyed me (plus one major plot point wasn't how I would have gone so), but overall I couldn't stop turning pages.
pickThank you, @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for introducing me to this author. This is the third book I‘ve read by her and it‘s another pick for me.
Friendship, family, love, loss, addiction, secrets and embracing simpler times.
This book also gave me 3 of May‘s #WickedWords which I‘ll post later. @AsYouWish
