That losers like that could get the jump on Barbara Gordon can only mean one thing. The worst part? All of those untrained dorks gave her a run for her money. Here's a rundown of the baddies Babs fights over the course of this volume.Ī guy that blackmails people using social media.Ĭosplayers who are waaay too into an old anime cartoon.Īn insane artist who wants to 'impersonate' Batgirl.Ī reality tv star who gets drunk and goes drag racing on the street.Ī computer algorithm that Batgirl defeats by channeling Matthew Broderick. Like, Moral of the Story lame.ĭon't bite your friends, kids! Hyuck, Hyuck!Įveryone who just got the Yo Gabba Gabba reference is entitled to a nap and some animal crackers.Įveryone else? Count your blessings, and remember your birth control. Big Deal, right?Įxcept the story itself felt like it was geared towards tiny people. Well, it's not like she's calling other chicks cunts, but words like asshole & damn are peppered into the dialogue. The language isn't suitable for the younger set either. In the first issue alone, Babs gets drunk, can't remember that she was all over some guy the night before, and pukes some hangover juice into a trash can after taking out a thief. It's got too many adult situations in it to be a comic for kids. I'm not sure what Fletcher was going for here, but it felt like it was for children. I was crazy excited to read this, and Barbara Gordon is one of my favorite DC characters, so to say I'm massively disappointed right now would be an understatement.

No matter what she does, she can never win their approval.When Grace announces her engagement to a man who is an exact replica of their handsome, materialistic, narcissistic father Victoria cannot help but feel even more ostracized, and like a failure once again. Victoria knows she has been a disappointment to them all her life. By contrast her parents, though across the country, still have an emotional hold on Victoria and instinctively seem to know just what to say to bring her down.

Jenny Han is one of a growing number of authors who speak openly and loudly about the need for greater inclusivity in YA and children's literature. In a world where Asian and Asian-American actors, writers, and filmmakers have to fight for access to projects about their own cultures, these covers are incredible significant. After all, the matching covers of Jenny Han's young adult duology feature an Asian-American girl, a model intended to look like the novel's main character, Korean-American teenager Lara Jean.

The book really pulled together all the many, many details about this murder mystery at the end, it left me very sad when the book was finished, not because of the ending (which was awesome!) but because I wanted the story to go on and on. Watkin’s and Audenzia’s friendship was a joy (and sad) to see develop. The danger and racism at that time was captivating to read about. I didn’t know what it was like to live in NYC in the 20’s, so I learned a bit as well. It made the story suspenseful and fun at the same time. My heart was in my throat as the danger got worse, but the book made me smile too, as the Italian accents were perfect. And I love libraries! So these four things made the book unputdownable for me! It was a slow burn for the first 3 chapters, and by chapter four, the tension was fast-building. I fell in love with the main character Audenzia, right from the start.
