Sometimes, it is complicated as he felt so wrong being who he is while he's not. I found him so fragile as as a human being and it makes me want to hug him. I want to tell him that it's okay being gay like him and nothing has to be fixed.
I love the process reading this book so much. More Happy Than Not with the bonus chapter at the end makes it more realistic. Thank you, Adam for the beautiful story. I always love the book that you write. What a brilliant debut novel.

the reason for the "low" rating is that i've definitely outgrown this type of book and never got fully immersed into it, but i know i would've made this my whole personality if i read it as a teenager lol
(definitely check trigger warnings if you're planning to read it)
