This book excelled in all the right ways: a likeable protagonist with dimension and growth, emerging sense of communal and collective purpose as a teen girl, first romance with a respectful and likeable guy who is still negatively influenced by society's disbelief in women's voices (especially regarding rape), relationships that are growing apart (mom, childhood best friend), and the positive power of music and art to inspire change. I love how Mathieu included Vivian's actual zine pages within the story, adding a nice layer of multimedia flair.
