Where You See Yourself

I think this is a great read for teens wondering about their college experience. It's also great to have this #OwnVoices depiction of disability–I think it will make some wheelchair-using readers feel represented and will be illuminating to some abled readers. It is so detailed in its depiction of the ableist barriers Effie faces that it ends up feeling somewhat didactic in places, but, you know, it's good information to learn.

Also a side character's dream college was randomly Grinnell College and I was like “oh this author must have gone to Grinnell otherwise there's no reason why this would be in here” and, I was correct. (Class of 2013.) Grinnell recognize Grinnell.
