I had no idea what I was getting into. I was leaving the library, saw a Pride month table, quickly picked this book up because it was orange (woo! fun colors!) and that was that.
The little blurb on the cover says, “This book will save lives.” I agree.
Tender, fast-paced, and vulnerable with lovely illustrations. If you’re looking for an easy-to-read coming of age graphic novel, this is a great one covering topics such as sexuality, toxic masculinity, religion, and body image.
TWs: homophobia, fatphobia, religious trauma, alluded self-harm (brief and not explicitly shown)
