Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee
3.0

Great representation in this one. I learned a lot, I feel like, about what some trans youth might experience. I loved the mental health representation. A character experiences anxiety and the panic attacks described were spot on. I had major issues with the main character most of the time though. I couldn’t tolerate their selfishness or how disconnected they could be from reality. But somehow they had extreme compassion for this character with anxiety and that was nice to see. The plot of the book was just very meh for me. I almost DNF’d because the story just didn’t seem to go anywhere. But I’m glad I pushed through. There were some cute moments and teachable moments in this one. But I really did struggle to push through the storyline for several reasons. While this book wasn’t my cup of tea, I can see how it could make an impact and bring hope and positivity to trans youth today.
