Adored this book to my core. Absolutely divine read. The characters feel so real and true and the honest portrayal of growing up into adulthood and the challenges young people face was artfully done. This book dealt with very heavy subjects in such a realistic and compassionate loving way.

This was utterly rapturing. It was almost like reading a poem. Might just be me, but it felt very surreal.

At the beginning of the book I felt like I wasn't the intended audience. And then I really loved the second half of the book.

But the author is a transphobe so please do not support him<33 (I purchased my copy before I was aware of that)
