From the setting to the dialogue, all the way to the fucking cover I just… But it is a what the fuck just happened ? kind of book. Not Otherwise Specified isn’t… a bad book by any means. I feel like she puts a lot of herself into her stories. I love her writing, her characters, the way that I feel like I personally know her solely from reading her books. Bianca seems like Etta’s salvation, but how can Etta be saved by a girl who needs saving herself? Both girls are auditioning for Brentwood, a prestigious New York theater academy that is so not Nebraska. Etta doesn’t fit anywhere- until she meets Bianca, the straight, white, Christian, and seriously sick girl in Etta’s therapy group. Not gay enough for the Dykes, her ex-clique, thanks to a recent relationship with a boy not tiny and white enough for ballet, her first passion and not sick enough to look anorexic (partially thanks to recovery). Not Otherwise Specified by Hannah MoskowitzĮtta is tired of dealing with all of the labels and categories that seem so important to everyone else in her small Nebraska hometown.Įverywhere she turns, someone feels she’s too fringe for the fringe.
