Why read it?
1 author picked Blue Plate Special as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I absolutely love and recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery or twist at the end of the story. The main characters, three teenage girls, in this book are so well thought out, and every chapter shows the transition of their own thoughts and dialects. It taught me that appearances aren’t always what’s in the mirror, and how much young adults to the elderly struggle and grow throughout their lives. Overall, this book is a fantastic story and worth the read!
From Veronica's list on realistic-fiction defining normal and mental health.
