I love it when fiction books add numerous nonfiction books to my TBR pile. Tons of interesting relationships. Good and bad interactions between activist groups thrust together. A viewpoint character mirrors the vanilla readers that need to read this. She grows into so much more.

The structure of the narrative channels the chaos of a punk jam session. Religion, art, politics, racism, violence, drugs, music and jaywalking are all argued about from diverse viewpoints.

The events unspool on social media in the book and I shared my excitement and thoughts on Threads as I read. I really hope this book gets in front of a ton of people. 

There are some intense themes, but I think it would be amazing to see this taught in a high school.
