The way that it unfolded was in a way that I haven’t seen before in other books. There was a really great moment were the characters explored homophobia between women which I feel like isn’t explored enough. The idea that woman being gay or bisexual was not something used for men/boys. I liked how it explored pansexuality and bisexuality in a real way. I liked how each girl had their own specific set of issues that were explored (though some better than others) and used to further the plot. Deception between each girl runs deep and I was entertained for a large portion of the book. People Like Us can be very delicious at times. add that beautiful layer of LBGT+ acceptance presented in a very good way just as how people are and you got yourself a very progressive concept. Mean Girls meets The L Word meets Pretty Little Liars, I am one for a good messy boarding school drama. A read that I wanted to love so much, but just ended up feeling the too many tropes were used unsuccessfully.īut first what I liked. We still have the very pressing review of People Like Us by Dana Mele. We’re gonna read the last book of June this first week in July while reading the 1st book for July and double up, but more on that later. That should be left for the footnotes, but I only read two books this month. June has been a really difficult month for me both personally and professionally and I just couldn’t dedicate myself to Thriced as much as I wanted too.
