I absolutely loved this book. I loved being in this world. I loved all the introspection and journaling bits. I loved the value placed on friendships. I loved every fabulously awkward and unique charicters and how they remind me of people I know.
this also made me think about the performed audience developmental stage where you think everyone is watching you. I wonder if this is amplified for minorities because sometimes we are being watched and evaluated. I think my experience as a kid this stage hit hard as everyone in teen years is obsessed with sexuality and I was working hard to surpres mine.
