I don’t know what took me so long to finish this. It’s a book in verse, so it should have been quick. I got distracted by library holds and due dates again.

I really liked this line in the book: “I wish everyone was allowed more room to be unsure.”

challenging dark sad

Strong character development? Yes

This book made me want to cry & it reminded me of the organized abandonment i went thru during the trans genocide that deescalated in 2013/2014, as well as the George W Bush administration. It also felt strange that USA history got chosen, but still. I had to listen at a faster speed to finish this book.

It's like the Titanic except less sad & more spooky.

3.5

The first third of the book was very difficult to get into. The premise was strange and I really did not connect with the plot or characters; it’s been a little too long since I was in high school. But the last third of the story was gut wrenching. It captured so many feelings of isolation and fear that I felt when I was that age - not for the same reasons, but I knew what Aaron was feeling. The ending was perfect even if it was sweetened for the sake of the plot - it’s what queer kids need to see. Worth the read even if it wasn’t exactly up my alley anymore.
