tbh I devoured this book in one sitting. the writing style wasn't what I expected it to be and I've never read a verse style story but I really enjoyed this one. it was written exceptionally well and presents some important ideas in simple words. even though I'm not a black, gay man, I identified with a lot of the feelings/situations in the book and felt seen. would definitely recommend.
