Does My Body Offend You?

A timely story of two teenagers who discover the power of friendship, feminism, and standing up for what you believe in, no matter where you come from. A collaboration between two gifted authors writing from alternating perspectives, this compelling novel shines with authenticity, courage, and humor. Malena Rosario and Ruby McAllister’s stories connect in an unlikely way—as neither of them expected to be the leaders of the school’s dress code rebellion. But the girls will have to face their own insecurities, biases, and privileges, and the ups and downs in their newfound friendship if they want to stand up for their ideals and––ultimately––for themselves. Does My Body Offend You? is the perfect read for your Galentine’s Day book club that will spark reflective conversations and inspire a deeper connection among your friends.
