Twelfth Grade Night by Stephanie Kate Strohm, Molly Horton Booth
4.0

Vi is heading to a new school without her twin brother, the first time they've not done something together. She's feeling out of her element and out of sorts being forced to handle all these changes on her own. But this new high school is nothing like what she expected. It's filled with actual fairies (wings and all), ghosts, and so many attractive people.

If you're a fan of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night or of high school romantic comedies, this is the book for you! It's a delightfully diverse cast with a rainbow of skin tones and queer identities. The book is FULL of Shakespeare references and nerdy homages. So fun and satisfying. It also avoids the HORRIBLE fate for Malvolio by making it lighter and having the perpetrators acknowledge their misdeeds.
