As far as writing and characterization go, this is easily 5 stars. But as far as personal enjoyment, this was a 3-star read for me. While I personally didn't find it triggering, this could easily be triggering for other readers (attempted rape, attempted suicide, bullying, and an extremely transphobic environment). It took me what felt like an eternity to finish reading this book simply because of how harrowing it was at times, and not in the enjoyable exciting way. This is an important story that needs to be told and to be widely read, just don't go into this expecting a light teen drama.
