Great queer-rep, BIPOC-characters, a neuro-divergent girl and an MC that is SO FUCKING RELATABLE. How could I rate this anything below 5 stars. All the characters, but especially Ben and Nathan, have my whole heart and I am this close to immediately rereading this one. It utterly deserves the free slot on my all-time-favs-shelf.

On Goodreads, Deaver added a comment for all the content warnings in this book. In this comment you can find them as well, wrapped in between spoiler-tags for those not wanting to read all of them.harrydaylight's review against another edition

All in all, I Wish You All the Best was beautiful and made me cry in the best way.

CW/TW ⚠️ misgendering, homophobia, anxiety/depression (detailed panic attack), child abuse (mental, with a mention of physical).
Y’all! This book 🥹 as much as it broke my heart, it was also joyful, a celebration of friendship, and had hope shining through. As a YA book, the author takes such care in addressing these heavy topics.
Even though Ben’s parents truly failed them, their sister, her husband, Mariam, Mrs. Liu, and the friends they make at their new school really take up the baton and provide Ben with such a nurturing and supportive environment as they heal from everything they’ve been through.
Some of my fave things from this little cutie book:
- Grump x sunshine! ☀️
- Mental health rep of anxiety/depression
- LGBTQIA+ rep including nonbinary MC, NB/M relationship, bisexual rep
- Found family 🥹💖
- Star Wars references! 💫
- Nathan owning 5 annotated copies of Pride & Prejudice and referencing Mr. Darcy 🫠
- Some of the characters & vibes reminded me of Heartstopper (Ben is like Charlie, always saying sorry too much!) and Felix Ever After (those messy teenage years trying to figure out your life and identity!) - other 5⭐️ reads I’d recommend if you haven’t checked out yet!
