Beautiful story with beautiful characters. The mix of queer history and becoming yourself was perfect and this was amazing

I loved this book so much. I loved reading about LGBTQIA history and that Isaac was able to find himself through learning about his dad. This was so unlike any story I’ve read. I really wish Christopher and fig would have ended up together, but I’m happy with max too. I sort of wish the ending didn’t take the route it did with max, I felt like it took away from closing Isaac’s story. There could have been more bonding with his mom or reconciliation with Christopher. It was a great read nonetheless.

 I love the exploration of relationships and growth, complicatedness of relationships, family, connection and belongingness. It was heart wrenching to read at times but the characters are just beautiful and endearing. I’m not one to drive across the country to look for someone but I understood that need for connection and belonging
