![]() ![]() While I appreciate that the author has put them at the front of the book, people don't always read a preview before diving in, especially for something like First Reads or other times where they just might choose a book simply by genre or hype. The only issue I have with the book is I think the book description should have listed the multiple triggers of this book. The scenes from her childhood make us better understand how she came to be the way she is and why triggering events at the start of the book cause her to ponder her motivations and ultimately change. The dual timelines take place in the protagonist's childhood (told in the first person present) and her adult present (told in the third person past). For me, she did so because she presented Nena/Echo as a complex killer from the very first scenes. Fortunately, this debut author is able to keep the pace thrumming despite switching back and forth. Oftentimes, that slows down the pace of a book (not good in thrillers) or creates confusion. This is a very violent thriller featuring non-stop action, even though it is a dual-timeline story going back and forth between the protagonist’s past and her evolving present. ![]() Intense, Violent Thriller, But Mind the Triggers ![]() ![]() Many of us could learn a lot from characters like Kelly, who acts as Melissa's best friend and confidant. But even for those who do not identify as queer, Melissa will teach important lessons of empathy and being a supportive ally. For students questioning their own gender identity and/or sexuality, this is a book where they can finally see themselves represented. It is appropriate for late elementary and beyond, in my opinion, especially because the novel centers around a 4th grader and her experiences in school-which readers will be able to relate to. This book does not deserve the criticism it has received. Parents and other opposers fear of exposing their children to "adult" themes that make sexual references, but it is important for students to receive a diversified yet holistic education. Despite its history of being banned in school districts, I believe Melissa is a wonderful book to teach in schools. She faces very real and relevant obstacles, including school bullies and adults who do not seem to take her seriously. ![]() We meet loveable characters like Melissa, a young transgender girl who is on her own journey of coming out to her friends and family. ![]() I read Melissa for a class book club, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Her stories generally (always?) have trans women main characters, and they all deal with the daily struggle of surviving in a world that constantly questions their existence and value. I loved it so much that I immediately bought her next book, A Safe Girl To Love ( review), which I honestly still feel like I’m processing. My first experience reading Plett’s work was in chapbook form: Lizzy and Annie ( review), which I highly recommend if you can get your hands on it, because it’s accompanied by gorgeous watercolour illustrations.
