This book is Bad and not in a fun way. The writing is inconsistent in whether it wants to stick to reality or if it wants to veer into shock value. There were no less than NINE unabashed slurs in this, including against gay men. How this book is allowed to call itself an lgbtq+ book is BEYOND me. I feel disgusted that people think this book is ok to still recommend. The bigotry against gay people and disabled people, the use of the term powwow from White characters, the flippancy towards mental health and trauma. Do not waste your time reading this book.

I'm not really sure what to say about this book... was it particularly well-written? Not really. But the twists and turns and unhinged behavior of the characters kept me interested enough to ignore the plot holes and things that were poorly explained, so I'll probably read the next book at some point. But Kevin needs to have more of a personality for so many people to be so obsessed with him, my goodness.
