Well, this was sweet! This was for sure on my “I probably need to read this” list. A little slower than I expected, but that was fine for the most part. A little overhyped? probably! But still sweet nonetheless.

It took me a few chapters to get into the writing style, which I found rather abrupt and blunt, of this one. 

However once I got into it I found it to be a really easy read and really quick, thanks to the short chapters.

This was a sweet and endearing journey of self discovery, and a lovely coming of age story full of love and friendship.

There were quite a few trigger warnings, so you may want to check those out before picking this one up.

The book was absolutely amazing until the last ~50 pages. The transphobia ruined it for me. Also the ending felt a bit rushed compared to how things happened before. But all in all the book is great and I would definitely recommend it. Although the author is not a good person.
