I don’t agree with the controversy surrounding these books, I suggest reading them yourself before judging by the reviews. 

That being said, I rated this book 3.5 stars. I just felt like something was missing from the story and the ending didn’t quite do it for me. I liked it enough that I finished it, I just feel like it had more potential and didn’t quite hit the mark. 

I liked the focus on found family and overcoming toxic familial relationships. The character’s background was interesting and building on their mental health gave them depth. 


Bonus: good lgbtq+ representation.
