I Wish You All the Best
by Mason Deaver
This book is important. This is the first book I've ever read with a non-binary main character and even better that it's written by a non-binary author. I learned so much from this book about what it means to identify as non-binary and I am very happy I read this, and I am so happy this book was published because I feel like a lot of people will relate to this book and find comfort in this book. As for my personal reading taste though, I thought this story was okay.
This story follows Ben who comes out to their parents as non-binary and then gets thrown out of the house. They stay with their sister Hannah, and get transferred to a new school where they meet Nathan, a boy they might be interested in. This story was very eye-opening to me, but to be honest if this book didn't feature a non-binary character, I probably would've DNF'ed it because the story line and plot itself wasn't very interesting to me. The writing in this book feels very basic YA to me and because of it I had difficulty connecting to this story and the characters. My favorite character in this book by far is Hannah, Ben's older sister. I was fascinated by her story about why she left home and her relationship with her parents, and how amazing and accepting she is of Ben.
I thought the romance in this book was cute, but again it felt very standard YA to me and not something I got emotionally attached to in any way unfortunately. I appreciate this book for what it does and I think we need a hell of a lot more books out there that feature non-binary characters, but this book was only okay for me.
Book #6 for Romanceathon is complete!
