Corinne Duyvis' The Art of Saving the World
So when this book's protagonist was born, an interdimensional rift opened up on their family farm, and government scientists moved in to study it—and her. Now she's 16 and trying to figure out life, whether she's into girls, etc, but the rift has gone haywire and a bunch of versions of her from alternate dimensions have popped out of it. Also, a dragon. And together they have to save the world! What I liked about this: queer teens, a good depiction of anxiety, the relationships between the girls. What didn’t really work for me: the government stuff, the Powers That Be, an all-over-the-place ending. Great characters, slightly less good plotting, overall a fun read and recommended for teens. B+.
