This book was enjoyable. I haven't read any of Dean Atta's books before so I went in with new eyes! This book didn't disappoint. I love how the book was written and it is so obviously different from any other style of story telling! I love the poems that aren't included in the normal stories and I love the drawings! The characters are so beautiful and I fell in love with all of them! Fin's accent made it very difficult to read sometimes but it is fine haha! Got used to it!

Well this was certainly entertaining at best. But unlike The Black Flamingo, I did not got invested unfortunately 🤧

I loved the themes of gender and identity in this story, as well as friendship. But as for the romance, it's a no for me 😅 I can also appreciate that Mack is a messy character (YA characters are allowed to be messy and learn from it ofc). But this whole thing overall just did not work for me.
