Gabi Hernandez chronicles her last year of high school in her diary. She writes about her friend Sebastian's coming out as gay, her friend Cindy's rape and pregnancy, body image, her family and their tendencies, her crushes, her father's meth addiction and eventual death, foods she wants to eat, and her poetry. Gabi, a Mexican-American teenager, navigates her messy home and social life which she narrates in her diary. As the story goes on, Gabi develops her character and learns more about her identity and complexity. The author unsentimentally tackles a wide range of sensitive topics, such as abortion, coming out, addiction and teen pregnancy. Gabi as a narrator is fresh, authentic and clear.
