![]() ![]() By the time I got to page 18, I realized Jasmine, Chelsea and the rest of the crew are the kind of people I would’ve hung out with in high school. Watch Us Rise has probably just broken the record for quickest tears. Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices-and those of other young women-to be heard. ![]() When things escalate, the principal shuts the club down. But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by online trolls. They post everything online-poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine’s response to the racial macroaggressions she experiences-and soon they go viral. Jasmine and Chelsea are sick of the way women are treated even at their progressive NYC high school, so they decide to start a Women’s Rights Club. I’ll be using the same reviewing style I did for Love, Hate, & Other Filters so please let me know if you like it, or if you’d rather I go back to my old ways. I’ll also have to bring these beauties back to the library, but at least they’ll get to be loved by someone else. It’s been a pretty good reading month and I’m excited for the Wrap-up next week. This is the final book of my June Library Book Haul. Watch Us Rise was published on February 12th, 2019 and thankfully, my library had a copy. I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this book. ![]()
