This book is wonderful. Juliet is a 19 year old Puerto Rican teen from the Bronx, getting ready for an internship with her favorite feminist writer between her freshman and sophomore years of college. Before she finishes packing her bags and leaves for Portland, Oregon, Juliet needs to finish the epic mix CD she's making for her secret girlfriend- and also come out to her family as a lesbian. Will she be able to do it at the family dinner table, or will she chicken out? So begins Juliet's whirlwind summer, full of adventure and new experiences: vegan food, polyamory, middle-aged dyke drama, heartbreak, radical politics, love, haircuts. A big theme of this book is the inadequacy of white allies in conversations about racism, racial micro aggressions, and how to navigate friendships with people who have let you down. Do you abandon them? Do you try to educate them? I really appreciated these conversations in a YA book, they were very well done. Overall it's a fast, fun read, the deep topics mixed with simmering sweet summer romance.
