Please Excuse Our Confusion by Jasmine Cartwright

emotional funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

Please Excuse Our Confusion was such a good book! In this book we are tackling many topics like homophobia, abortion, and adoption. 

I went into this book completely blind and I am so happy I did! I related to our main FMC Bowie so much because of her people pleaser tendencies. She will literally do anything for her friends. So much so that she has lost what she wants and who she is amongst it. She is also feeling lost due to the circumstances around her adoption, so we are following that story line as well. 

I really loved how the author handled this book with so much love. It was especially refreshing because I am also from Oklahoma and we do have so many people who are extremely conservative, so to have a book that takes place in Oklahoma and was so proudly written to encompass love as a whole and having a diverse cast of characters was wonderful! 💜 

I do wish we were able to give a little more into Bowie’s feelings/pain over her adoption/abandonment issues. I felt like there was a lot going on, so that got lost for me a bit. 

I do recommend this YA contemporary book && I am so happy that I got to read it 💟
