5.0

in this coming-of-age novel, remy cameron’s college essay leads to him going on a journey of self-discovery. remy is an adopted black and gay teenager who worries he cannot define himself outside these labels. he also develops a crush, which plays into the story.

this was a very heartfelt book. i really felt for remy and seeing his relationship with himself, his crush, his family, and his friends develop was so great. i definitely recommend this book for anyone—of any age—still finding themselves.
