Usually I avoid YA novels like the plague (I'm probably the only person in the world who has never even touched a Harry Potter book) but I read this on the recommendation of a good friend and it's pretty amazing. Michelle Tea is a good writer, and she sticks to what she knows best (growing up poor and lesbian) but she was able to bring the main character to life in this book in ways she hasn't before. I felt like I knew Trisha, and although I am neither poor nor lesbian, the character really spoke to me. I guess anyone who is an "other" could relate to theme of isolation, but the book wasn't whiny or preachy, just real.
