I thought this was really good! I liked how much “natural” representation there was in this - no character felt added in just to check a box. I also really enjoyed how realistic the pacing of Eli and Peter’s relationship was, especially after everything at the end. The main conflict and plot was just slightly too predictable for me, but I enjoyed this overall.
The discussions this book has about being queer in small towns (and in general), as well as being trans are soso important and were put into this book with so much care and intention, and that really shined through throughout the whole story.
I also thought the narrator for this did an amazing job with the story - his voice really fit Eli perfectly and made it feel really immersive.
Thank you to Avon, HarperAudio, and Netgalley for the advanced copy!
