![]() ![]() There was so much subtlety and powerful writing when it came to the girls and how they were impacted by the dress code. I’m just annoyed that this plotline was so heavily featured because in my eyes it really took away from the main dress code story. ![]() The levels that it got to in the book seemed more appropriate for a story about hard drugs, not nicotine. Like, I don’t think that underage kids should be vaping… but the way it was being written about in the book just made me laugh. It was just so over the top that I feel like it cheapened the message the author was trying to get across. It was like a melodramatic after school special that lacked any nuance. HOWEVER, the subplot about the main character’s older brother being addicted to vaping was just so fucking ridiculous. Seeing the characters all come together to try and bring about change was great. It shows how young girls feel violated by the ways their bodies and clothes are being scrutinized, much of the time by adults. ![]() I thought that the main story about how girls in middle school are unfairly targeted for dress code infractions was really impactful. ![]()
