I read this on audio and I don’t know if that was the right idea. The reason why is because at times Felix reminded me of Holden from the Catcher in the Rye. As someone who is not part of the LGBTQ community but I am an ally, this was incredibly informative. Kacen Callender is an incredible writer and he was able to show the difficulties LGBTQ teens go through on a day to day basis.
