I think a lot of the teens navigating the traumas of high school, especially the queer outcasts, may really connect with this story. It was a nice refreshing, very real and actually cute read.

I say high school but this one is actually set during the summer between two age sets of kids, some of the seniors who just graduated, and the soon to be upperclassmen. It really felt so summer, and so coming of age. Highly recommend.
