5.0
I don't normally rate the second book in a series higher than the first. But this one really dives in and tackles grief, racism and homophobia in deep ways. A beautiful story about how friendship and love can save people.
Graphic: Death of parent and Homophobia
Moderate: Transphobia, Murder, Racial slurs, and Racism
