A review by orangerful
Lucy and Linh, by Alice Pung

3.0

One of the more low-key "outsider trying to fit" stories I've read in awhile. I mean, there was some drama with the entire "Mean Girls" dynamic of the Cabinet girls, but otherwise this was kind of calm? Or maybe it is just that whole thing about how teen girls bully and it is all psychological, though I really felt like most of Lucy's torture was her own because she couldn't quite fit in.

I will be leading the discussion for this book during the 'Books for the Beast' conference in October so I will be curious to see what others have to say about it, especially the teachers and students, who are more "in" this world than I am as a public librarian.
