my high school is currently attempting to ban this book so I had to read it for myself. I think every kid, confused about sexuality or not, should be allowed to read this if they want. the depictions of teenagers are nothing but accurate. it's relatable and has a great message. any struggling teen would be able to see part of themselves in Aiden.
