i'm actually in love with this book.
i spent my day reading it and when i tried to do anything else (like watching horseland or taking a nap) it didn't take long for me to pick it up again.
i don't know what it was, but i found myself laughing out loud, crying, squeaking and screaming, almost having panic attacks with ben, so i actually had to pause and concentrate on calming down before i could continue reading, but also getting hella excited and really having to force myself not to skip entire pages when there was too much tension and excitement for me to handle.
thank you for this story, i loved everything about it - the pain i felt, how much i could relate to ben, and the pure joy and happiness i experienced because of them.
and now i definitely have to check out mariam haidari.

i cannot thank mason deaver enough for writing this book. i can’t put into words how much i appreciate ben’s story and all the characters that came with it. the amount of representation in this book is incredible, i loved it so much. 

ben is an amazing protagonist. i related to them a lot and i was crying and laughing and screaming because this book is so so important. 

have to say i was a bit worried at first that it would just be another heartbreaking queer story but it’s not and i’m very happy about that.

forever thankful for this book, i loved every page of it

i rly loved this book! i read it in a day! honestly felt very close to ben and most of their struggles, specially their anxiety ones. i loved mason’s writing style and thought it brought up different emotions in me when it needed to! very insightful book, and specially if you don’t know much about the effect on misgendering and other gender-related struggles! 100% recommend this book to any person out there!
