Why read it?
1 author picked Margarita in the Spotlight as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an odd one out, because it’s in audiobook form. Margarita is a part of her uber-famous country star sister and gets thrown into the limelight when the label gets into hot water for not being inclusive enough. This audible original truly shines with its amazing story and wonderful music! Personally, I liked the way the story tackles Margarita’s struggles to figure out her place within Latin culture and processing the feelings of what that means for her.
From Mirelle's list on for girls trying to change the world.
