This book has great character voice and I think the illustrations are beautiful but ultimately I’m left unsatisfied. The story feels like it ends too soon. It either needed a stronger narrative voice to the ending or it needed more time to work out the themes that were only just starting to be explored.
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship
Moderate: Suicide, Homophobia, and Injury/Injury detail
