this was just really lovely to read the entire time, despite the sad subject matter at points. i genuinely connected with this book and the characters (zee!!) in ways i didn’t think i would going into it only knowing it was a big hit. what a beautiful representative piece of grief, anger, and hitting rock bottom as a racial and sexual minority.
