4.5
so its not perfect by any means and could be considered problematic for sure but its one of my favourite queer books,, first 1/2 is the main character living out a punk, lesbian poetry drug-fuelled life which I LOVED and then in the 1/2 half the book switches from a realistic, almost autobiographical book to a,,, idek how to explain it but its great (also matt dillon for the win)

The premise of the book is really interesting and very unique. The book manages challenging subject matter well with the right amount of humour and realism. However, some of the relationships, such as those with teenagers, felt uncomfortable and could have been written with older characters and not impacted the story arc.
