Reviews

At times it felt like the author spoke through the characters to the audience in a preechy way. It did't make them sound distinct.

Your readers can tell when a character faces the audience and preeches your views. It's not a bad thing to have your views in your books, but the way it happened here made it feel like a lyrical blog post.

This happened when the mother spoke about "you're not half anything, you're a whole human," and when the uncle spoke about white fear of Black success. Both topics are valid to speak about anywhere (fiction, non-fiction, online, offline), but they came off in a blog post sort of way in a fictional story.

The only thing I didn't like about it: it was short!

I feel like this book has a different kind of voice than other books with LGBT themes.

love the cover! it fit just right to the feelings I got from the whole book.
You read about a small kid telling his day-to-day emotions and events, too pink, calm, and peaceful and gave good feelings!

The way he tells his story is so similar to little kids, I couldn't help but adore it!
he is so honest. Whenever he felt bad or did something wrong he told it with an honest heart with no mean or bad feelings behind it.

He is definitely one of my favorite MC in books. he is so charming courageous lovely and adorable:")
And love the fact that he knows exactly what he likes and what he hates - for a kid, it may be natural but things like this, shaped his personality and character.

RECOMMENDED! I just had a great time reading this book I am planning to check the author's other books! It was such a treat :)
