Dress Coded

I was annoyed at how the narrative was constructed at first but it's a solid story and I was sucked in. There are more plot threads here than I'm used to seeing in MG books but they were well enough integrated that it dovetailed nicely at the end. I kept losing track of secondary characters though cause there's a lot of them. While this is very much an “issue” book, its well-fleshed out and doesn't resort to preaching. The stuff about memorial day and the locals who had died in “the First Gulf War” was a bit fucked-up and serves as a sharp reminder of how militaristic the US has become.
