5.0

The main character, Connor, is a breath of fresh air. His way of thinking and speaking feels real. All the intrusive thoughts, doubts, the sass, the wit, spectacular!! 

This book was heartbreaking and freeing. 
It wrapped up in a way that was realistic for a group of queer teens in this day and age, full of pain and hope at once. 

There are more lessons in this book than i can type with blurry eyes but the one that stuck out the most to me is that for every person who wants to hurt you, there is a person who wants to save you.

The characters grasped my heart and i know they won’t ever let go. 

“It was so kind of you to visit me in my loneliness.”

beautiful, painful, truthful, hopeful.
