This book had so many incredibly problematic elements to it. The author represented the trans experience inaccurately and with no care or respect for trans readers who may not want to read the f-slur every other word. The author also represented the bipolar experience as wildly psychotic and uncontrollable, when in fact, that is not an accurate picture of this diagnosis. There are many strong 1 star reviews on Goodreads that point to the many errors this author made in crafting this ill-formed novel.
Moderate: Bullying, Sexual harassment, Death of parent, Dysphoria, Transphobia, Death, Mental illness, Suicide, Toxic friendship, Sexual assault, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Self harm, Body shaming, Emotional abuse, Deadnaming, Forced institutionalization, and Homophobia

As a neurodivergent trans person and an elementary educator, it is my belief that this book could do more harm than good to young readers.
Moderate: Homophobia
Minor: Sexual assault
