Oh gosh, just steamed through this tale of a activist student and a goodie two shoes who accidentally team up to draw attention to some issues in the school and maybe, oops, fall in love on the process.

I listened to this whole YA queer romance today while I was packing boxes in the kids‘ rooms (the big move is next week!).
It was super cute, and I love how the girls smashed the patriarchy at their posh private school (and how racism was called out as well).
Plus Australian accents on audio! 😍 #pridemonth #queerfiction
Romantic comedies aren‘t my usual fare, yet I thoroughly enjoyed this Australian YA novel set in an exclusive high school in Sydney. An unlikely pair of lesbian teens use pranks to battle sexual harassment, homophobia and racism at their school, under the guise of a fabricated student. Alternating voices in the storyline are read by two #audiobook narrators. Uplifting #LGBTQ #YA #OzAuthor
Thanks to @littlebrownyoungreaders for this free ARC! Oh Amelia... Will and Harriet are two students attending a rich private school in Australia. Will clearly sees the wrongs of the way school admin handles things and Harriet is a to-the-T rule follower. Will‘s sarcastic ways enable her to get Harriet to see that maybe there are a few things at school that are not ok, like the Olympic swim coach harassing the all-female student body.
Hoping to get through this one today and maybe start another! 🤞I am SO BEHIND on my Rainbow List reading. 🌈
A great feminist YA contemporary! Loved it.
