Young Adult Contemporary LGBTQ+ : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was so lovely and feel-good! And a queer positive story about a loving multi-generational family thriving and understanding. I appreciated that Liz was a strong and positive female lead that struggled with just being "seen" and understood. Liz never got ugly even when that could have been an easy emotion to portray all she wanted was to do what was right and be a good person (maybe to a bit of a fault).
