(Y) We Read Diverse Books: Juliet Takes a Breath

We will be reading "Juliet Takes a Breath" by Gabby Rivera. <br/><br/>


“Rivera captures both the disappointments and the possibilities that come with realizing that your life’s solution cannot be figured out by someone else.”
—The New York Times Book Review <br/><br/>


Juliet Milagros Palante is leaving the Bronx and headed to Portland, Oregon. She just came out to her family and isn’t sure if her mom will ever speak to her again. But Juliet has a plan, sort of, one that’s going to help her figure out this whole “Puerto Rican lesbian” thing. She’s interning with the author of her favorite book: Harlowe Brisbane, the ultimate authority on feminism, women’s bodies, and other gay-sounding stuff.
Will Juliet be able to figure out her life over the course of one magical summer?
Is that even possible?
Or is she running away from all the problems that seem too big to handle?
With more questions than answers, Juliet takes on Portland, Harlowe, and most importantly, herself. <br/><br/>

We Read Diverse Books is a book club for teens [thirteen and up] who want to read stories by diverse authors whose works feature diverse main characters and address diversity in a meaningful way. We will be reading a variety of formats, including fiction, graphic novels, and non-fiction. (Note that some selections may include upsetting material; please email the coordinator if you would like more specific information.) <br/><br/>

***Free copy of the book for the first 12 registrants.***
