This is a bit of a strange book and I'm not fully sure how I feel having finished it. It was fairly good and it was easy to read.
Mostly I felt as though so many things could have been expanded on. The ending in particular felt rushed and there was no time to sit with the feelings of it.

On the other hand it tells a story I know. Queer kids like me didn't always have friends or support and so often it came through the love and support of an elder queer. And I kinda wish they went into that more. I think stories about being a young gay teenager never really get the whole support from a elder queer thing.

Overall it was a decent book. But it felt cut short.
