Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi

This companion novel to Pet is a timely read that couldn’t be more relevant to teen activists today. Bitter attends Eucalyptus–a school where she can focus on painting–while her friends take to the streets to protest the injustices plaguing the city of Lucille. Bitter isn’t sure where she belongs—in the studio or in the streets.  And if she does find a way to help the revolution while being true to who she is, she must also ask: at what cost?
