This book may be categorized teen, but don't let that fool you. It's a wonderful and heartfelt look into identity, familial bonds, and friendship that can be appreciated at any age. All of the characters have distinct voices and development arcs which was refreshing. If you have a hard time following dialogue heavy narration, it might not be for you. The book lacks some visual world and scene building, and it instead focuses on the building of characters.
