Where do I even begin? This series collects things people can struggle with like Pokemon cards. The diversity everywhere you look feels so extremely forced. It feels like the equivalent of saying "I'm not racist, I have POC friends", like that bars you from the ability to be racist. First people were gay, then trans, then race started to play a role and now Charlie has an ED? The series is trying to tackle to many important issues it's not even covering the main topic of being gay well and it's really annoying. The only redeemable factors of this book were Tara and Darcy, who were cute, and the gay teachers, who were funny.
