Goth Girl, Queen of the Universe by Lindsay S. Zrull
5.0
It took me so long to finish this book but that is a reflection my time management skills not of the book.
This is an awesome book about found families, real families, and the reality of it all. It's about a young person who has jumped from foster to foster so many times that making friends or getting close to anyone did seem appealing. Jess learns that her biomom lives in New York City and when she is invited to be apart of a cosplay team whose goal was to make it to NYC for a big competition--it seemed to be a sign.
However, much like most things, don't go according to plan. Jess finds safety and love with her placement and her teammates--despite herself. Love it<3

It is so touching and I am so happy I kept going.
