Yellow by Megan Jacobson
4.0
Yellow is such a terrific example of how compelling Young Adult contemporary fiction can be.
Megan Jacobson paints a portrait of a teenage girl struggling with the separation of her parents, her mother's alcoholism, and the bullying of her 'friends'. Everything is compounded by poverty, & it was good to see representation of characters who don't come from middle class or higher that didn't trivialize or romanticize her situation.
There's a ghost, a murder mystery, and a bit of falling in love, but I'll let you discover the story for yourself. It's a gem.
