Ariel Crashes a Train
Olivia A. Cole
Ariel, a queer seventeen-year-old, feels unable to meet her parents’ expectations or the world’s idea of a good girl. Violent compulsions and intrusive thoughts become a consuming inner presence, and she fears that something is deeply wrong. She also feels too big and too rough for the roles pressed upon her. Told in free verse, the novel follows Ariel as new friends may help her interrupt this spiral and face what is happening.
