Kat and Meg Conquer the World
Title: Kat and Meg Conquer the World Author: Anna Priemaza Genre: Contemporary Young Adult Rating: Five Stars! Kat and Meg couldn’t be more different, but together, they create a bond that is both warm and genuine. In this heartwarming novel about navigating the murky waters of adolescence and mental illness, Kat and Meg may not necessarily conquer the world, but they do capture our hearts in a friendship reminiscent of Lucy and Ethel. We meet them individually, from a dueling first-person point of view that is refreshing and so well executed that we’re able to seamlessly read along as we get to know them. Kat has a pretty severe anxiety disorder, so she often resorts to cool, witty, and realistic techniques to get through the day. Meg has ADHD; her ever-shifting train of thought lending a view into her daily struggle to just focus. With Kat’s OCD compulsions and Meg’s scatterbrained tendencies, they seem an unlikely pair, but together they create a beautiful friend
