"I know that things aren't perfect and there are still hardships, but don't forget to enjoy these years. Live. Live them for the people who didn't get to enjoy being a teenager. For the people who never lived past being a teenager."
I had to suspend my disbelief on a couple of plot points, and there were some passages that felt clunkier than I would've liked. But overall, it was a deeply cathartic read, probably because of how much I relate to Felix and his relationship with his queer identity. And I think that, in general, Callender did a great job of balancing high school drama & romance, as well as more serious topics of transphobia and class disparity.
