Redwood and Ponytail by K.A. Holt

3.0

---

I loved the style of this audiobook, but had to turn it down several time to keep the shrieking middle school characters from busting my eardrums. Content-wise, I loved that this book portrayed the struggles that young queer folk face both within themselves and with family members. There are so many quality queer books available right now, and I am glad they show supportive families and friends, but this book will help kids who are not in those supportive situations find their way. I hope. It was uncomfortable at times because of the way Ponytail treats Redwood, but overall it was a great read (listen) and I will recommend.
