I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
As a straight, white, cis-female, obviously I can’t imagine how much worse it would be for an agender pansexual teen to navigate. But I can definitely relate to the profound friendship, teen angst, drama, struggle with self-esteem and uncertainty that was expertly portrayed in this novel.
I loved the way the author chose to write this story with the anonymous pen pal slow burn. The main character, Avery, is super sweet! Parts of their story felt super familiar to my own time in high school - the boy trouble, the strong friendships getting them through everything, being relentlessly bullied, and being unsure of themself and where they stood with their classmates. All of that could’ve come from my own highschool diary. The characters were all well-rounded and relatable. The problems they find themselves in felt real and very believable. And the ending was perfect, though I would definitely read more of their story.
