[BR] Goth Girl, Queen of the Universe by Lindsay S. Zrull #39
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream, Edgar Allan Poe.
The opening of each chapter in this book is with a quote from Edgar Allan that turns out to be a role model to our beloved heroine in this story, Jess. Jess appears to like to dress up as a Gothic girl with smokey eyes make-up and a pair of black lace-up boots. She thinks she could protect herself from any feelings by not showing her feelings to others. Her look is her armor.
The truth is, Jess is a foster kid. She has been spent an entire of her life bouncing from one foster home to another until now. She even made a foster care pro-tip and always plays by her rules but what she didn't know is her life will be 360 degrees different when she meets a bunch of talented children in her school that apparently appears to be her most trustworthy clan and her great foster mom Babra.
When you think things will go accordingly your way, don't get your hopes too high, you might get disappointed. The conflict begins when Jess got a massage from her biomom. Starting from that, her focus is distracted, and her relationship with Babra (her foster mother) is affected which will cause her lifetime trusty. Babra felt betrayed and Jess's relationship with her teammate also change.
I should read more books like this. Mental health is the main theme in this book. It is devastating seeing people still lack awareness about mental health. This isn't funny. We should spread the awareness more. Mental health is as important as physical health. This book opened my eyes about mental issues and give me a different point of view regarding the custom event. They're not bunch of geek but they're actually a genius.
