4.5

I feel like the mom being so immediatel  cool with her kids being gay isnt that realistic and it kinda threw me off, besides that

I really liked it! All the characters felt complex and real.

i might be learning that in my old age (a whole 20) i cant enjoy contemporary YA like i used to. there were a LOT of pretty bad cringy moments but third act was pretty good. im glad Reyes didnt do the "main couple breaks up and gets back together thing" in the third act, but rather it touched on a more darker subject with the whole family instead. i enjoyed the book, but i think imma start passing on ya with younger-than-18 charas lol

The title of this book is kind of lacking. What about it was a guide? Nothing.

Deeply dark first 85% of the book, do not read if you are a queer in crisis. This was too heavy for me in this moment, but I recognize it is pretty good writing.

Glad I read this, it made me cry and laugh. 

I really loved the discourse around coming out and how it should always be on your own terms and that we don't owe other people that info. 

I also thought the conversations around cultural identity were handled really well. 

This book touched on so many difficult issues around race, sexuality and mental health. It did this while also being funny and even quite fluffy at times. I wish I'd been able to read something like this as a young adult/teen.
