Different Kinds of Fruit by Kyle Lukoff

3.0

Okay so this book is really good. But Annabelle (not the other Annabelle, who in the epilogue came out as Julian!!!) was kinda mean to neurodivergent kids. “It made me uncomfortable to talk to her…” yeah. It was mean. Also, mike. He is great—kind supportive dad but so so so mean about Bailey. Like seriously. Even at the end I think he was supposed to seem supportive of all of the LGBTQIAP+ community but it felt like he was only accepting because Annabelle was friends with them. Idk just a lot of parts felt odd and off. I can just imagine LGBTQIAP+ kids picking up this book and reading it and thinking (especially non-binary kids) “wait I’m a fake trans person? But…I’m not a girl or boy!” And getting super sad. So yeah.
