After getting caught hooking up with her best friend’s ex on the last day of junior year, Kendall starts senior year friendless and ostracized. She plans to keep her head down until she graduates. But after discovering her online identity has been hacked and she’s being framed for stealing from a dealer, Kendall is drawn into a tenuous partnership with the mastermind of a drug ring lurking in the shadows of her Brooklyn private school. If she wants to repair her tattered reputation and save her neck, she’ll have to decide who she really is - and own it.

This book really takes off about halfway through, as the young protagonist starts coming into her own. She shakes off the cobwebs of social expectations and naïveté, and she takes control of her own life on the cusp of adulthood. Kaplan sorts through timely, thorny issues around sexuality and rape culture with a light but nuanced touch. A great reading of a great book!

What is a country? While certain basic tenets - such as the clear demarcation of a country's borders, and the acknowledgment of its sovereignty by other countries and by international governing bodies like the United Nations - seem applicable, journalist Joshua Keating's book explores exceptions to these rules. Through stories about these countries' efforts at self-determination, as well as their respective challenges, Keating reveals that there is no universal legal authority determining what we consider a country.

This wonderful book is great for fundamentally changing your awareness of nationhood and citizenship. So many of the questions about how we define a country, who gets to decide what a country is, and how countries disappear are things that I've never considered, and have always taken for granted. Keating does a wonderful job of framing what consequences people of indeterminate citizenship sometimes face. Well-read and full of facts to impress your friends, Invisible Countries is a great pick for anyone who wants an in-depth take on some of the most marginalized people and places.
