I just wasn't a huge fan of this book. TW: there's a bit of sexual assault and anti-LGBTQ language but it's in a "internalized homophobia, I'm growing and learning as a character way" so I guess it's okay? It just caught me really off guard the first time the word queer was used as a synonym for weird. Also the use of f*g caught me off guard and I felt like it was a bit much. But other than that, there's a pretty good message with this book. It was a quick read, only took me about a day and I probably won't reread it.
