Thank gd for this book. It’d been a long time since a book was a full 5 stars from me. This book reminded me what good YA feels like: sharp yet entertaining prose, the humor there, the arc strong, the metaphors intricate and visual. It’s got found family, too. This’ll probably actually be the new go-to when I recommend my friends a YA read. Just painful (but not only!) and perfect.

One of my favourite books. Everytime I read it, it feels like coming home. It’s moving and sad and comforting.

This book was emotionally draining. It was intense but also moving in some places. I loved a lot of the side characters just as much as I loved Cameron. They made the book what it was!
