This book was absolutely delightful and I loved it and I cried at it. I think a lot of people who are queer go through something similar in their lives. While this character does have supportive loved ones, not everyone has that reaction from people they trust. This is a lovely queer coming of age graphic novel and it is so important to tell more stories like this. I also love the underlying message of encouraging people to live their truth now, not in a hypothetical future - also a very important message.
