it took a while for me to get into this book bc i just could NOT vibe with randy's entire plan but im glad i stuck it out because the message of queer individuality and expression was so important and so beautifully written. george was such a fun side character and it was lovely to see a queer camp environment with good friends + good staff

What a frustrating book. I see the value in its existence and hope someone saw themselves in it, but I don’t think I’ve related less to a queer story since Jenny’s Wedding. The portrayal of queerness seems stuck in a 2014 tumblr era of representation, and I often found myself agreeing with the character that I wasn’t supposed to agree with, that these characters are all walking stereotypes. The way sapphics are written in this book also didn’t connect with me or ring true at all. I’m not a gay man, so I don’t know if this is an accurate depiction of gay teen boy culture, but from the outside looking in this book was almost offensively out of touch. It’s crazy to me that there’s a whole arc written just to explain what demisexuals are, yet bisexuals get only one mention. Also, what an idiotic plan. I struggled to suspend my disbelief for much of the plot, and I don’t get what the message was supposed to be?

There is a long sex scene near the end of the book involving two underage boys that made me feel icky to read (it felt voyeuristic to me)virtuexe's review against another edition
