GRRRLS ON THE SIDE by Carrie Pack

Why you need it: Grrrls on the Side is a fast paced and engaging historical that takes a long, honest look at growing up overweight, lonely, and coming to terms with one’s sexual identity through the lens of its main character, Tabitha.

Joining the girl gang

I loved writing Grrrls on the Side because I got to write about friendships between girls. Too many novels have pitted girls against one another for the sake of a love interest. Personally I’d love to see more series about “girl gangs” like The Babysitters Club books I loved as a tween. Those books were full of teenage girl shenanigans, ranging from dealing with your divorced parent remarrying to learning to keep a secret. Yes, there were also love triangles, but in the end the girls were alw...
