Wow. Just wow. This is probably one of the most impactful reads I have read in a very long while. I saw myself in these pages. Of course it’s not perfectly me, no two stories are exactly alike, but Juliet’s journey resonated with me in so many different ways. From the representation of a Puerto Rican growing up in a big American city, to the journey of discovering your inner queer and learning about gender expression, just so much reflected my own personal experiences that I couldn’t help but love this book. It’s funny, sad, informative, and eye opening. Read this book.
