"After a childhood in foster care, Bitter is thrilled to have been chosen to attend Eucalyptus, a special school where she can focus on her painting surrounded by other creative teens. But outside this haven, the streets are filled with protests against the deep injustices that grip the city of Lucille. Bitter's instinct is to stay safe within the walls of Eucalyptus but her friends aren't willing to settle for a world that's so far away from what they deserve. Pulled between old friendships, her artistic passion, and a new romance, 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?"-- Provided by publisher

Bitter submitted by nemiller on August 12, 2022, 1:29pm While this book stands up entirely on its own, I'm glad I read Pet first. It gives a lot of depth to Pet, and makes me want to re-read it, keeping in mind what I've learned in this book. Already knowing a piece of Bitter's future, and the future of Lucille, doesn't take away from the tension at all - it just adds a dimension to that tension, as you wonder how things went from the beginning of Bitter (the book) to the beginning of Pet.

Loved these books for my kids submitted by berkleya on July 24, 2023, 7:52am My daughter, who also loved Pet, loved this one, too.
