After hearing them on a podcast (Team-Up Moves, a superhero RPG actual play show) I wanted to read a Rachel Gold book and ended up with My Year Zero and I feel like I got really lucky with that choice. It doesn't stray too far outside of the usual YA structure, but I really enjoyed the writing, and it felt pretty sophisticated for the genre. It's got a bunch of collaborative storytelling and math nerdery and mental health stuff that it deals with in a pretty good and real and sensitive way, and a lonely, dorky, thoughtful, nice Jewish lesbian with an overbearing, emotionally distant father at its centre who I really fell for. It was a really good time.
