4.0
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
The Minus One Club begins about a club uniting grieving students. These feelings of loss that hollow us out. These moments where they're there for each other, where they just understand each other without speaking, it forms the basis of The Minus One Club.All these memories of the past and their continual process of grief was heartbreaking. But as a whole, this book is about Kermit. About the pain he feels, but also the queer questioning, struggling with his relationship to religion, and also crushes.
