A contemporary teen romance novel featuring a Palestinian-Canadian girl trying to hide her autism diagnosis while navigating her first year of high school, for fans of Jenny Han and Samira Ahmed.
Fifteen-year-old Jessie, a quirky loner obsessed with the nineties, is diagnosed as autistic just weeks before starting high school. Determined to make a fresh start and keep her diagnosis a secret, Jessie creates a list of goals that range from acquiring two distinct eyebrows to getting a magical first kiss and landing a spot in the school play.
Within the halls of Holy Trinity High, she finds a world where things are no longer black and white and quickly learns that living in color is much more fun. But Jessie gets more than she bargained for when two very different boys steal her heart, forcing her to go off-script.

How Similar Is Our Taste in Books?
How Similar Is Our Taste in Books? +10 points if you’ve read it +5 points if it’s on your TBR 500 possible points (including Finding Gene Kelly 😉)
This is DEFINITELY a non-exhaustive list—there were so many I had to cut out because I didn’t want it to be 500 slides long. But I feel like this is a decent grasp of my tastes?
I’ve absolutely been loving this trend and I had to participate, even if I’m a little bit late to the game (as usual lol)

[Hello, everyone! I know that for many of you, Tiktok and Instagram are working to keep you from seeing all of the Palestinian content you would like to. So I thought I would collect a small number of books for you here! Most of these are written by Palestinians, but a few were written by anti-zionist Jewish people and American civil rights activists.\ \ Non-Fiction:\ \
- The Hundred Years War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi\
- Palestine Hijacked by Thomas Suárez:\
- Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Davis\
- **The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe **\
- We are not here to be Bystanders by Linda Sarsour\
- Looking for Palestine by Najla Said\
- Poets for Palestine by Remi Kanazi\ \ \ \ FICTION:\ \
- Against a Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa\
- Ida in the Middle by Nora Lester Murad\
- Mother of Strangers by Suad Amiry\
- Something More by Jackie Khalilieh\
- Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad](https://leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com/item/haKplwLVaQRvu1Bd82kG/)
Here is a compiled list of some of the books I have come across highlighting Palestinian liberation/stories. I have already read a few of these and plan to make my way through the rest as I'm able!
