hannahgarstang's review against another edition
I really loved the discourse around coming out and how it should always be on your own terms and that we don't owe other people that info.
I also thought the conversations around cultural identity were handled really well.
This book touched on so many difficult issues around race, sexuality and mental health. It did this while also being funny and even quite fluffy at times. I wish I'd been able to read something like this as a young adult/teen.
