"I don't know if the specific label is important to me."
"It doesn't have to be, and you're not obligated to figure it out, or come out, or explain yourself to anyone, ever.

I’m so glad books like this exist. So much queer rep and mental health rep, so many aspects of this book made me feel seen even if I couldn’t relate to all of it - but someone else could.
The book as a whole was fab though, so sweet and wholesome. Charlie is to be protected at all costs! Just such a cute, lovely and open book.
