This book is tremendously sad, but very well written. There is LGBTQ+ representation, but in a strange way that isn't usual for an LGBTQ+ book. Not good for representation, and no major female characters either, and the canon black characters are not on the center stage. Despite this, it is a very good book that will affect you very deeply.
