Amazing and Inclusive

My goodness, I cannot recommend this book enough. The author wrote it so well that it read quickly. I had difficulty putting it down because it flowed and I didn't want to exit the narrative. It includes many elements not typically seen in books - young love, LGBTQIA relationships, STEM careers and impacts, poverty, and realistic POC interactions. The plot was well thought out and once I finished it, I wanted to go back and hang out with the main characters a little more. A similar book is "The Weight of the Stars" by K. Ancrum with similar topics.
