All of the Above by Juno Dawson

3.0

Essentially a story about friends, but it’s also about a lot of other things,too. That was the overall issue, so many problems were breezed over no particular one was looked at in any real depth and this was to the books pearl. There were parts I loved though, like how everyone hung out at the local crazy-golf course, The intersectional diversity – Toria is half-Indian and bisexual, Toria is sexually active, has been sexually active before we get to know her as a character, and completely owns it. The lack of labels. This is realistic, as a lot of people don’t feel the need to expressly define their sexual orientation. To see a whole cast of queer characters was refreshing.

The problems was with following a cast of characters you have to be sure they add something. I think Alex and Alice could have disappeared without noticing. I wish we got more in to Dasiys character because I would have liked more of a connection with her. Nico wasn’t really deep we got a few lines making him more deep I wasn’t really rooting for his ship. I liked Polly, she was a stronger character only when she swore it was writing in stars, It was so ******* frustrating. I kept trying to figure out the fucking word haha.

Overall enjoyable but didn’t blow me away like this author writing usually does. If your looking for a Diverse YA contemporary, with a more serious tone then you should try it you might love it.
