One of the first books I've read with MC enby rep! Loved Ben's story and felt so seen by some aspect of each character. This book felt so human and raw and I loved every minute of it. But yeah I did cry a lot on Syd's couch LOL

check trigger warnings before you read this book ! 
This is my first read of the year and i could not put it down ! i read it in less than 48 hours. i love the diversity and complexity of the characters. i think the way Deaver has portrayed the main character Ben has helped you resonate with them more. i think the flaws of the character have become a main part of the story and the overall growth of ben themself and their feelings. i think this book is amazing, i would recommend to anyone in the LGBTQIAP+ community, it is also helpful for people trying to understand how to learn more about these things and how to respect people in different ways. i would recommend this to a lot of people. Mason Deaver is one of my new favourite writers, their work is amazing !

as heart-wrenching as it is heartwarming, you really get lost in ben's journey. as for them and nathan, while there's no such thing as perfect, they’re pretty close. easy 5 star read.

loved the book, great representation and an honest experience that felt very honest and real. also a little deep and challenging tho, but i guess that comes with being queer.
