It had been on my tbr for a few years and I'd known how beloved and cherished this book is, especially among other nonbinary people. Now I know firsthand how special this book is 💛🤍💜🖤
This book hits you hard right from the very start, continues to give sucker punches, but then also builds you back up. Ben's story will be forever cemented into my heart I think.
I fell in love with the cast of characters who loved and supported Ben through everything. Nathan especially had my heart as a fellow bookworm and Pride & Prejudice fan lol

This book is so important and I am so thankful that it exist. Everything feels so real and very well described. As someone that experiences panic attacks myself, this is the first book where I can say 'yep that is exactly what it feels like'. I am in love with this book. This book deserves 6 ⭐️. It deserves everything. All I can really say is to please read this book because it handles so many important themes so very well. I honestly just can thank Mason Deaver that they wrote this and I will from now on read anything they will publish.
