Michelle Tea's Rose of No-Man's Land

this book was very different from most books i've read recently; this is probably because it is a lgbtq novel. i felt that it was an accurate portrayal of a girl who felt like she was on the outside looking in; it wasn't so much about her being a lesbian(although, to be honest, the reader never knows her exact sexuality. i'm assuming she's a lesbian, but she could be bisexual or something similar; one site describes her as genderqueer). what i loved most about this book was that she made such a huge journey in a span of about 12 hours or less, and it didn't have a happy ending like most books and movies always strive for. fuck happy endings. read michelle tea.

also read please don't kill the freshman by zoe trope.
