The Unstoppable Bridget Bloom

By Allison L. Bitz

Book Overview

A bright and fun fat-positive YA novel about learning how to express yourself when what has always defined you is no longer an option. Perfect for fans of Julie Murphy and Emma Lord.

Bridget Bloom's out-of-this-world voice is the perfect fit for center stage. When Bridget's admitted to Richard James Academy, a college prep boarding school with a prestigious music program--where heartthrob Duke Ericson attends--all her dreams are on track to come true: leave the hometown where she's never belonged, fall in love, and launch her Broadway career.

But upon arriving at the academy, she learns that due to her low music theory scores, she's not eligible to perform or earn the sponsorship she needs to afford the tuition. Worst of all, Dean of Students Octavia Lawless, the one person with the power to reverse the decision, challenges her to work on her humility . . . by not singing at all.

Without her voice, Bridget will have to get out of her comfort zone and find a new way to shine. Good thing she is unstoppable

From debut author Allison L. Bitz comes a coming-of-age story of self-discovery, humility, friendship, and love.

Customer Reviews

The Unstoppable Bridget Bloom is the best adolescent literature book I've read in years.

Bridget Bloom (17) explores relationships, friendship, and love, with a tone and style that is mind opening wowing! Page after page I marveled at the creative insightful thoughtful punch of reality that makes the story pop. While Bridget thinks she is learning humility, which may be an oxymoron for an unstoppable Bridget Bloom, she is really learning what makes a true and strong relationship: love in the real sense of people who care for each other and provide safe spaces when they are around each other. A tremendous story about how working together creates lifelong relationships and success unstoppable!
