The pacing of when the events took place in the novel was extremely fast and seemed unrealistic. I do think the author did a good job writing on a subject which they haven’t experienced first hand and writing in the voice of a modern teen. This book was ahead of its time and is still very relevant today.
Graphic: Bullying
Moderate: Panic attacks/disorders, Sexual assault, Transphobia, Stalking, and Dysphoria
