''Skylarks'' is a powerful story about inequality and call for social justice. It's also a tremendously touching love story featuring two very relatable lesbian characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it. More like this please! If I had one (tiny) criticism to make it would be that Gregory puts so much into the inequality narrative that it overwhelms rather than clarifies. All of the issues discussed are vitally important but it's easy to lose sight of each one individually when there is so much to take in. This is a nitpick, I hasten to add. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
Gregory's first YA novel, [[Countless by Karen Gregory]] discusses eating disorders and teen pregnancy and is equally powerful. [[Indigo Donut by Patrice Lawrence]] also pairs two protagonists from very different social class backgrounds and is a fabulous read. You might also enjoy [[Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash]]. We also have a review of [[I Hold Your Heart by Karen Gregory]].
