some stories were really good and some had me tempted to skip but I'm a completionist so I just pushed through. I loved the horror ones the most.

my high school is currently attempting to ban this book so I had to read it for myself. I think every kid, confused about sexuality or not, should be allowed to read this if they want. the depictions of teenagers are nothing but accurate. it's relatable and has a great message. any struggling teen would be able to see part of themselves in Aiden.

Neil Gaimen has really great prose and dialogue, but my god does he use those abilities for evil sometimes. Fascinating book. Incredibly long.
