In this episode we discuss the debut novel by S.K. Ali the Morris Award finalist Saints and Misfits.
We discuss how we're hoping for a whole series of books set in the same town (possibly following the side characters), the potential arguments the novel lays out about owning the way you are portrayed, and how Nate never wants anyone to look at his forehead.
Nate suggests The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.
Lindsey suggests Ms. Marvel. (Lindsey also describes a song during our Random Comments section; Amy joked that it was probably by Fall Out Boy. The song is actually "I'm Just a Kid" by Simple Plan).
Nathan suggests Exit Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston.
Our next recording session takes place on May 7th, we'll be talking about I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sanchez, Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, and Far From the Tree by Robin Benway. You can expect those episodes over the next few weeks.
If you want to see what we'll be reading after that, please check out our Goodreads group in the next few days. We'll be adding the books we'll be discussing in the coming months. https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/415645-is-it-teen-enough-for-you-now
