Does My Body Offend You?

Does My Body Offend You?

For fans of Nic Stone and Erika Sánchez comes a story of friendship, feminism, and standing up for what you believe in, no matter where you come from. Malena Rosario wants to be seen as more than just "poor María Malena." Hurricane María not only destroyed her home and separated her family, it took her unbreakable spirit and boldness with it as well. So when she goes to school bra-less after a bad sunburn, and is forced to cover up with band-aids, she feels like she has no choice but to quietly comply. Ruby McAllister is tired of living in her sister's shadow. While Ruby has a reputation as her school's outspoken feminist rebel, her sister is out there saving underprivileged communities. So when Ruby sees the new girl is being forced to cover her breasts with band-aids, she is not willing to keep quiet about it. Neither Malena nor Ruby expected to be the leader of the school's dress code rebellion. But the path to revolution isn't easy, and the girls will have to face their own insecurities, biases, and privileges, and the ups and downs in their newfound friendship, if they want to stand up for their ideals and--ultimately--for themselves.
