I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver

5.0

This book was fantastic! I don't think I've actually read any young adult books with non-binary characters before this, and in all honesty, I wasn't expecting much. I've read a solid amount of LGBT+ YA books that were mediocre, and went into this assuming it'd just be okay. I was pleasantly surprised by how well-written, emotional, and realistic this book was. I loved the narrator and every one of their friends, and thought this book did a great job of including serious, upsetting moments without making the tone of the book dark. This book felt hopeful, and romantic, and just made me really happy overall. If you're looking for a book with non-binary characters that you'll love, or a YA book where the main character is actually likable and relatable, then check this out. Also, bonus points for having a character with anxiety whose anxiety is portrayed in an accurate, realistic way.
