this was cute and heartwarming :') but also tw for transphobia

what i liked most about this was the connection between Miles' piano playing and his self discovery, his journey dealing with recently coming out to friends & family and trying to assert himself as who he really is

i do wish the side characters were developed a bit more cohesively throughout the entire story, instead it kind of felt like their development was saved for the second half of the book almost like an afterthought.

but other than that, i really liked this! this is a book i wish i could have read when i was in high school as a band geek lol

Always the Almost is a coming-of-age story about a Miles, a trans high school student who resolved to win back his ex and beat his archenemy at a big piano competition. I really enjoyed how realistic the characters in this novel felt. I also loved Underhill's decision to focus this novel on trans joy. While some of the struggles Miles faces as a trans person do come up throughout the story, the bulk of the book is about his passion for playing piano and his relationship with Eric. Although some moments towards the end of the novel were frustrating, this was still an extremely uplifting, lighthearted story.
