I don't know how I'm supposed to rate this book. 4 stars? 4.5? 5?
If I compare it to my favourite books, it doesn't feel right to rate it 5 stars, but it's also incredibly brilliant and it was impossible to stop reading (and why did it have to end? I really need it to continue) and it made me feel so much.
Help me, I don't know what to do.
Okay, I will have to choose, so I'll go for 4.5 stars (rounding up to 5).

Shaun David Hutchinson is one of my favorite authors and people. I love that he writes found families because I think that's the best kind. And queer characters because I think that's the best kind. We Are the Ants is one of my all time favorite books.
But this one just didn't hit the same note for me. Apparently this is my year of being disappointed by books by favorite authors. He'll have to get in line with John Green to receive his hug and apology.
I just...didn't like the main character. I didn't buy the romance because it seemed like it mostly developed off screen. The fact that the MC literally never leaves this one building means the whole thing felt very repetitive. It just wasn't for me, I don't think, but I'm sure it's the book for someone. Gay own voices stories are so important and I'm grateful Shaun continues to write them.

ALL THE STARS! This book is so damn good. I'm feeling all the feels. And Shaun's writing is so beautiful, I can't even put it into words! I got this book from the library but have already purchased my own copy so I can highlight and tab all the beautiful things. Read this book. Thank me later.

Bu yıl okuduğum değil, uzun zamandır okuduğum en iyi young adult romanlarından biri kuşkusuz. Bu kitap için ancak tek bir kelime uygun olabilir: Güzel. Sağlam, gerçekçi karakterler, eğlenceli bir üslup, duygusal ve vurucu bir hikâye... İçinde yer alan ve romanın kendisiyle son derece iyi bir şekilde harmanlanmış çizgi roman sayfaları da cabası. Bu türü sevenlere (hatta sevmeyenlere bile) istisnasız önereceğim bir kitap. Okuyun. Sevin. Üzülün. Mutlu olun. Ve tekrar okuyun...
