Biggest warning is that it will backhand you with homophobia/racism without warning. You’ll feel very safe as a reader and then get whiplash as things are suddenly said or done and it’s pretty abrupt.
Otherwise, this is a cute book, there’s such a niche interest of poetry going on here that I really really loved. Sana was such a messy teen protagonist, and I really enjoyed watching her stumble and catch herself as she learned and grew.
