It’s a very well written book and I do genuinely recommend it with all my heart. However, it is not void of flaws. I strongly recommend seeking out some opinions from POC (especially Latinx and Black POC) about this book and how it talks about race before reading it.

I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into with this book but it is definitely my favourite book I have read this year.  Once I started it I couldn’t put it down and read it all in one sitting.  All the characters were so complex and felt so real.  I also thought the bi representation was really well done especially in the way that bisexuality was openly discussed.  I sobbed through the last few chapters.
