Phenomenal. This book was over too quickly for me. It left me wanting more, but at the same time, I’m happy where it left off. I love books in verse, and the poetry here is flawless. It blends beautifully and seamlessly with a lighthearted, human, familiar and unfamiliar story.

I wish this book had got the chance to be written sooner. The fusion of poetry, prose and art works so well with the content. Finding yourself through dual identities, but ultimately casting those labels aside. We also get queer stories told by queer writers - more of this, please!
