The Unlikelies by Carrie Firestone
5.0
The Unlikelies has to be one of my favorite books that I've read in 2017. It includes overcoming trauma, standing up for what's right, and finding yourself in a new group of friends without being overly cheesy or heartbreaking. Sadie is a great mesh of a normal girl, looking to move past what everyone else is fixated on, with an everyday hero, who uses her instinct and heart to judge what is right or wrong.
☆☆☆☆☆
Basically, I thought the book would be about a girl finding a new group of friends over the summer, but it was much more deep and profound. It deals with the difficultly of heavy topics (i.e. cyberbullying, bullying in general, drugs, relationships) and stresses their importance without it taking over the book. I think it combined an equal amount of both deep meaning and an unlikely group of teens coming together to have a blast over the summer.
