Overall, I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. The parallels were cool and as this review shows, I received a lot out of this story. Generational trauma and fear of acceptance (with sexuality, with race, with physical presentation, with peers, with family, literally with anything) is real. The messages in this book were beautiful, especially the ones delivered by Avery’s dad.
