What a wonderful coming-of-age story that focuses on sexual health, mental health, and the lessons learned through a hard, difficult period. I thought the author balanced sincerity, hilarity, and gravity well throughout the story, and I was rooting for Queenie the entire time, especially during her self-destruction. Very well-written and makes me want to try out the author’s other works, if they have any.
