Throughout the book they talk about how Ben has little or no appetite. I wish there was more focus on that instead of it being brushed aside.jachnax's review against another edition

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.

In this book important topics
I'm not nonbinary so it's not my place to say something about the quality of Ben's representation. The intentional imperfect portrait of their support system seems realistic though. Hannah, Thomas and Nathan are trying their best but also make mistakes
Deaver calls attention to things that make Ben uncomfortable
Overall a cute and meaningful story, that isn't romance heavy but has a lot to do with love.
