A sweet and engaging read. The visuals jump off the page and really immerse you in the world. The characters are also easy to love and joy. It’s also really great trans rep <3

5.0

I was supposed to read this book in October/November when this book is set, but I caved in July after months of telling myself to wait. Am I sorry I caved? No. Am I sorry I waited this long? Yes. I loved this book. This was an amazing book. I cried with Yadriel and how he was treated by his family. I felt Yadriel’s pain every time. First time I cried in was literally like 20 pages in. Love how Julian fixed Yadriel’s yearbook for him. It was such a simple act of kindness on his part - and he DIDN’T take credit for it! I will recommend this book to everyone, and I will not listen to people who have negative thoughts on this book. Bye!
