A story about the importance of queer friendships and safe spaces.

Regarding the adult/minor relationship trigger warning:

there is a kiss towards the end, which is not great, but it's more symbolic of self acceptance than anything sexual, in my opinion. The relationship itself is friendship, at least in my interpretation. This isn't a book about a 50yo falling for a 15yo if that worries you

I almost gave up mid chapter one but I'm glad I didn't. This is a fun read and the main character becomes more interesting after chapter two.
