Always the Almost by Edward Underhill
5.0
I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
It's hard to express how much I loved this book. It touched and soothed my soul in a way no recent book has. It was an honor to receive an ARC and I'll treasure the story and its message for a long, long time.
We need more queer joy like this. I feel seen. If I had read this as a teen, things I felt about my identity would have made sense so much sooner. I understand and empathize with a lot of what Miles goes through. It's a beautifully told journey and I think everyone should read it.
All of the characters are wonderful. Rachel and Paige are distinct from one another, despite how often we see them as a unit. Eric deserves the world. Shane bucks the stereotypes. Miles parents break your heart and stitch it back together. Cameron is hateful but you can't help feeling sorry for him at the same time.
I've already recommended this to so many people. Go read it!
