Took me a little time to get into it but once I was in, I couldn't put the book down. I've never felt so much emotional range from a book before. There were times I was smiling, times I was laughing, times I was tense, times I was furious and times I was sobbing from both sadness and happiness. A beautiful story about found family and being resilient and true to yourself.
BTW Nan is the best and must be protected.

O livro traz bem o assunto de homofobia e o que acontece com váárias pessoas do meio LGBTQI+.
Gostei de ler, mesmo que eu não goste muito desse tipo de assuntos em livros (porque eu já passo por isso). Mas é um bom livro pra informar e mostrar pra pessoas o que acontece, mesmo que o final seja bem "todo mundo mudou", é uma boa leitura.

Honestly, i only read this because i don't have Netflix and wanted to know the story, and yes it's cliché and disney-esque in that in the end everything is good, but sometimes, that's what you need as a member of the LGBT+ community.
I cried when Alyssa came out and her mom told her she loved her. Mind you, I have laughed at my favourite Supernatural characters dying.
All in all, it's not my normal taste in books, but even though the end was predictable, it kept me hooked (by that i mean i stayed up until 12 am on a school night reading this).
It's a feel-good, but also cry-your-eyes-out-if-you're-sensitive.

I came across this when looking for more queer ya lit; I’m not familiar with the play or any of the other context around the book. The homophobia was VERY blatant throughout the first 2/3 of the book, and I think it’s important to know that it’s not all sparkles and rainbows. That said, I do feel like the overall tone of the novel is hopeful, and even though a lot of that doesn’t feel realistic, it’s uplifting in a way that I really wanted to read, especially in a f/f ya romance. There isn’t always a lot of great f/f rep in romance generally, so having that means a whole lot!
