I'm Not Dying with You Tonight by Gilly Segal, Kimberly Jones

4.0

I’m Not Dying With You Tonight by Gilly Segal and Kimberly Jones is a book that I’ll gladly add to my shelf right next to The Hate U Give and I’m Not Your Typical Mexican Daughter. It’s a good addition to YA books that address race relations and the struggle of fitting in. I enjoyed being able to read this story from two completely different perspectives, a black girl and a white girl, and seeing how differently they reacted to the same situation. The book does seem a little rushed but I also think that adds to the stress of the situation so I don’t have any issues with that. I’m not entirely convinced that this book does any favors to teenage girls though because both of them seem to lack a healthy dose of common sense in a very dangerous situation. Overall, I do think this is an interesting book with many possible discussion points with your teenagers.
