This was such a fun, adorable book! I couldn't put it down. As a LGBTQ+ person myself, I eat these books up!I love anything and everything queer, but I haven't read many (maybe any?) books focusing on non-binary main characters. It was just refreshing and I would highly recommend.
Would've been a 5 star read but I just wanted a little bit more... it wasn't quite emotionally hard hitting enough. I didn't cry, there wasn't any really super emotional moments, which would have made it a 5 star read. But it was VERY close.

honestly the writing of this book is like 3 stars but it feels wrong to give it anything under 4

I Wish You All The Best is a story of love, friendship and acceptance, as much as it is a story of prejudice and intolerance. It starts with Ben being thrown out of the house by their parents after coming out as nonbinary. Their hope before, and their shock and hurt afterwards, is pretty devastating to read about, and I think it's testament to the author's writing that I really felt it and was angry on Ben's behalf. But the hard moments are balanced out with some beautiful moments of Ben finding kindness in others, being able to trust, and coming out of their shell.

This is a lovely coming of age story that is full of powerful, realistically portrayed emotions. Recommended for all YA fans.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me an e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Really liked this one. Breezed through it in a day. It discusses the struggles with coming out as nonbinary and while I cannot judge if it did a good job as I am not nonbinary, I felt deeply empathetic to the torment in Bens head. As a psychology student, I had some issues with the therapist but other than that, it made me smile, cry and chuckle. What do you want more out of a book?

I will protect Ben at all costs and buy them all the art supplies they want.

I enjoyed this soo much. It dealt with heavy themes, but somehow felt light in their execution. I was angry for Ben. I was empathetic, and I wanted to remind them they are already more than enough to be loved.

I loved that therapy was so normalized. I appreciated it being a means of helping, and sometimes it not being the entire solution for someone.

The tender moments between Ben and Nathan had me clutching my heart
