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.

This was cute, emotional journey, that I didn't want to end.
Yami is a main character I won't forget.

It took me a bit to get into the book, but once I did, I devoured it.
Since the book tries to do a lot, it obviously doesn't cut very deep on all topics - but I think it's a great base for doing further research or reading other books about related issues. Therefore, I don't necessarily view it as a weakness.
I loved Yami as a character and a narrator. I often found myself smiling or even laughing at her sarcastic remarks. I really wanted to give her a hug.
