Daniel, Deconstructed by James Ramos
3.0
This was a really sweet, straight-forward story about a teenager navigating high school, with the added pressures of being queer and neurodiverse.
It was a very easy and comfortable read, drawing me straight in, and keeping me there until the end. I flew through it, and it was fun to escape to Daniel’s world for a little while.

The friendships between the three main characters were all really sweet, and it was lovely to see the different layers and complexities forming between them. While the plot was relatively simple and predictable, it was still really nice to see those characters interact and to explore their separate arcs.
There were a lot of aspects, though, that left me wanting more. Every obstacle or difficulty that was faced felt like it was resolved really quickly and easily, with most things coming up and being resolved within the same couple of chapters. As a result there wasn’t much drive, and beyond the romance and friendships not much to root for. There were some really touching moments that could have been a lot more impactful if they’d been built up more gradually.
Overall this was an enjoyable read, that ultimately left me wanting a little bit more.
