STUNNING! I admit I was a bit hesitant about the premise (specifically the main character changing his personality and looks to get his crush's attention), but it was SO WELL DONE. This book talks so much about being your authentic self, being gay however you want to be gay, and thriving in safe spaces while protecting yourself in more dangerous ones. 

There's so much excellent character growth in this book, not only in the main character, but also in the love interest. I was so proud watching them grow <3. Also, the side characters and the camp counselors are entertaining and gently coach the characters to be better, more authentic versions of themselves. Loved this book! Like, 9 out of 5 stars from me :)
