Not Otherwise Specified by Hanna Moskowitz, 260 pages
Etta has always been determined to get out of Nebraska.
Now, life is even worse. Her former friends are bullying her at school
because she's been dating a boy. They are all lesbians and even though
Etta always said she was bisexual, they fell like she betrayed them. She
is still struggling with her body and eating issues and life basically
sucks. Then she finds out about an open audition to a musical theatre
school in New York. And she also meets a girl in her eating disorder
group, Bianca. Bianca is trying out for the school with her brother,
James, who is gay, and their friend, Mason, who is not. Although
Etta is convinced she can't sing well enough to get in, she decides
to audition and rehearses with and becomes friends with this new group of
people. Although a lot of things still suck, not everything sucks
quite as much, but Etta still has a lot of problems to work out. This was
a decent book about a girl working through her life. A lot of teens would
enjoy this, not just the LGBTQ community, but teens who like realistic
fiction.
