The exact book I needed as a teenager. It’s nice that I felt like I was reminiscing on something I didn’t experience, which is a testament to the good writing. Only thing I didn’t like:

I felt like the romance between the besties was rushed. I would’ve appreciatetd more of Felix having the thoughts and feelings for Ezra, instead it just felt like everyone told them they wanted to be together so Felix was like oh okay wait actually maybe I do like him. Kids / teens should know its okay for someone else to like you, it's very possible your best friend might be in love with you, but if everyone's mature about it you can still have a relationship with that person and not be IN a relationship.

Everything else was well done!

im so sick of harry potter being a feature in modern books. jk rowling has been openly transphobic for like 10 years now. sincerely a person who never read harry potter but thinks people need to actually develop their own personalities

This is such an important book. The author has done a phenomenal job of writing a story that is compassionate, honest and powerful. I found that the characters were believable teenagers with all of their angst messiness. I thought Felix was adorable and infuriating at once which makes him a great character. He was complex and flawed and grows so much! This is the kind of book that all young adults should have access to and should read. There are discussions around identity, self love, romantic and platonic love, coming of age, conflict resolution, career planning, art and of course queerness and transness. I loved this a lot.
