Girls Like Us

Girls Like Us follows Quincy and Biddy, two young women with intellectual disabilities, as they transition from a special education program to their first independent apartment. The story explores their journey of self-discovery, the development of a deep friendship, and their resilience in the face of societal challenges and personal struggles. A significant part of the narrative addresses a past harrowing trauma, explicitly identified as sexual assault in some sources, which requires careful consideration for parents. This book offers powerful representation and opens conversations about independence, vulnerability, and the strength found in connection. It is suitable for mature young adult readers aged 14 and up, given the sensitive themes.
