Overall, I struggled to read this book. The plot is lovely and moving, but I don't this book was for me. I don't really know how to describe. I wanted to like this book so much and I kept trying to care about the characters and the plot, but I couldn't.

Es ist eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, Liebe, Selbstakzeptanz und Wachstum.
Eine wunderschöne Story mit typischem Happy End, was genau das war, was ich gesucht habe.
Das einzige was mich immer wieder etwas aus der Handlung gezogen hat, war, dass Felipe den Leser immer wieder direkt angesprochen hat.

I've been putting off reading this book because I knew I would like it so I kept waiting for the right time to read it and when's a better time than when it's so hot your sweat is practically gluing you to your chair because the power went out?
First of all, the cover. The beautiful, wonderful, amazing, pretty, gorgeous, eyecatching cover. That was why I was so nervous going into this book, my experience with pretty book covers is that they almost always end up being better than the actual content of the book. But not in this case, oh no, Vitor said what you see is what you get.
Second of all, the poc and queer and fat rep. Need I say more?
Third of all, Felipé, our main character. There's a fine line between relatable and annoying when it comes to fictional characters, especially when they're a teenager. I have no problem with annoying teenage characters because real teenagers really ARE annoying. But you don't want to read about a character who annoys you, do you? But I didn't find myself being annoyed at Felipé. In fact, as someone who is the same age, it felt like I was reading about a friend. Because I picked this up when I'm the same age as the main characters, it became more personal to me. I was laughing, crying, and smiling with him. I just love him very much.
Lastly, everything else. It didn't feel like this book was trying too hard. It was just a story about an insecure and bullied teenager trying to get through life and maybe find some romance along the way. It didn't try to be something else. It was straightforward and I appreciated that. I'm definitely rereading this again soon.
