I actually haven't read any of the other memoirs in this trilogy, but now I think I should go back and read the first two. This was the only Printz honor book that I hadn't read last year, so I'm glad to have finally picked this one up. It's such an important story, especially for young people that might find themselves in a similar situation.
This isn't an easy read, so check into content warnings before picking it up. The writing does the story justice, and I'm thankful to Rex Ogle for having the bravery for writing such a difficult topic. Unfortunately, this story might become even more important in the coming administration in the US.
If you're in the right mindset for it, it is worth the read.
