Ben and I are so much alike. Both just genderless queers riddled with far too much anxiety. I loved reading about them. 

This was like a big hug for my 16 year old self. I can't wait to read more from Mason!

Ohhhhhh my goodness, this book ♡
It had been on my tbr for a few years and I'd known how beloved and cherished this book is, especially among other nonbinary people. Now I know firsthand how special this book is 💛🤍💜🖤
This book hits you hard right from the very start, continues to give sucker punches, but then also builds you back up. Ben's story will be forever cemented into my heart I think. 
I fell in love with the cast of characters who loved and supported Ben through everything. Nathan especially had my heart as a fellow bookworm and Pride & Prejudice fan lol

This was a good palate cleanser after only reading the most depressing ass books. But it isn't unbearable, unrealistically happy. Love.

Sometimes I ponderate if I'm losing interest in the young adult genre but I'm clearly not because books like this still exist.
This story is so important, I learned a lot and it kept me involved and eager to read. I really like the characters, found them very well-written and loved that it focuses on family and friendship almost or just as much as romantic love.
