This is such a genuinely beautiful story. The way it's written from Ari's point of view gives you the most detailed insight into his mind. The development and discovery is incredible.

At the beginning of the book I felt like I wasn't the intended audience. And then I really loved the second half of the book.

But the author is a transphobe so please do not support him<33 (I purchased my copy before I was aware of that)

Probably my favourite book I’ve read this year. I loved reading about these characters and watching them grow and figure things out. Surprisingly, I actually loved the way the book was written and find it really shows how Ari thinks about things. 5/5
