Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was a good coming of age queer story about a young boy named Nate who is in love with his best friend Jai and is getting ready to spend two weeks in South Africa for his cousin's wedding. When he finds out that Tommy his ex boyfriend will be there he freaks out, but one of his best friends Jai says he will go with him. I also like how music is incorporated into the book and how the relationship between Nate and Jai is very organic. I also love how this story touches on family and how important it is. I love how Nate was able to go to the place where his father grew up.
