Ho dato cinque stelle a questo libro in maniera molto poco oggettiva ma molto personale. Sono consapevole che la trama è abbastanza semplice, soprattutto considerando che ormai da un po' di anni non sono più il target per questo libro, così come lo stile di scrittura che è molto semplice e scorrevole. Ma avrei tanto voluto avere questo libro quando iniziavo ad avere i miei primi dubbi sulla mia identità, quando non capivo cosa provavo e continuavo a chiedermi cosa ci fosse di sbagliato in me. Questo libro è entrato in contatto con questa mia parte adolescente e sento che l'ha in parte curata. Spesso mi veniva da piangere per il modo in cui la persona protagonista, Ben, si descriveva o come esprimeva le sue sensazioni e i suoi dubbi perché era proprio come se mi stesse leggendo troppo. 
Queste 5 stelle non sono tanto per una trama piena di colpi di scena o per uno stile di scrittura ricercato, ma per tutto quello che questo libro mi ha scatenato e mi ha trasmesso. Come Mason Deaver stess* alla fine, questo è il libro di cui avrei avuto bisogno durante gli anni delle scuole superiori. All'epoca ancora non esisteva, ma sono felice che prima o poi sia arrivato.

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!
