This book is ahead of its time, but not for everyone: a story of self discovery written with LGBTQIA+ characters but full of Gay Wrongs instead of gay rights. This story is written in a way that the message could be championed by the wrong people and I could not get that out of my head. I appreciate the humour and the fast paced adventure, but this book quickly jumps into a statement that is drawn out long enough to fumble a safe landing. I left the story thinking, "what did I just read?" but not in an awestruck way.
