Wie die Autorenbeschreibung schön ausgedrückt hat, ist dieses Buch für Menschen die sich sonst in Bücher kaum repräsentiert sehen. 
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.

Eine süße Geschichte mit zwei sehr liebenswerten Hauptpersonen! 
Felipe ist am Anfang sehr unsicher, aber lernt im Laufe des Buches mit Hilfe von Freunden und seiner wunderbaren Mutter, selbstbewusster und mit sich selbst zufrieden zu sein. Zusammen mit der Liebesgeschichte ist es trotz einiger ernster Themen ein sehr leicht zu lesendes fröhliches Buch.

I loved this book. I would've loved it even more as a teenager because back then finding a fat character with a happy ending was like finding a needle in a haystack, much less a gay one. Felipe's worries about staying with Caio were so personally understood that I felt transported to being an awkward teenager again. I loved slowly seeing pieces of Caio's authentic self come through as we saw Felipe realize the beauty and bravery of being his authentic self. The ending was the perfect coming-back-to-the-beginning ending in my opinion, especially if you start by reading the dedication of the book. Overall, amazing and sweet story that I'm going to cherish for a long time.

I felt like Caio's mother's actions warranted the emotional abuse tag. She's somewhat controlling, in some ways a helicopter parent way, but in others a controlling your life way. IIRC, Caio also faces some indirect homophobia from her.
