This is such a memorable book. I don't think I've ever read a book that gets at the heart of the complexity and messiness of grief the way this one does, while still having so much to say on gender, friendship, queerness, and more. I will definitely recommend this to readers who are looking for hard-hitting YA contemporaries.
Graphic: Child death, Death, Grief, and Self harm
Moderate: Vomit, Toxic friendship, and Transphobia
