This books was one I listened to almost all in one day and then took a month to finish the last like twenty minutes 😂 …
This isn’t because the book was bad, I just got busy and kept not getting back to it, but!! That all to say! It was a beautiful book and one that tackles quite a few important issues such as biphobia, xenophobia, lesbiphobia, and family dynamics when it comes to a parents expectations and a child’s dreams, wants, and needs. Also horrible toxic friendships and how when you are that young you sometimes don’t know they are toxic because you’ve never known anything else.
Overall a beautiful read, would have only liked to have more in the end as there is definitely room for a sequel.
