“today i was sad. i don’t like being sad. this was a very sad day, how sad is that? so sad :(“
it almost gets annoying at times but of course this book is written in the perspective of a teen from the 80’s, i do NOT expect aristotle to start talking like shakespeare lmao, but if you’re not a huge fan of that kind of language then this book just might not be for you, and that’s ok.
side note: there is a small moment that i wanna lightly touch on that i think is definitely important. in one moment in this book there is some slight transphobia. small spoiler >>>>>

this book was a really well written and poetic mlm y/a coming of age, you come to love the characters quickly and the plot is both fast moving but complex at later points. i really recommend this ill be reading the sequel next!genevieve_eggleston's review against another edition
