An utterly heartbreaking but equally hopeful and beautiful story of a young boy (and later man) experiencing hardships connected with his identity, acceptance and fitting-in.
While it was not an easy read, both because of the difficult topic discussed and because of the slower pace, it was still definitely worth reading. I would recommend it to everyone who enjoyed titles like Open Water or Bellies. 

Huge thanks to Net Galley, Penguin General and the author for providing me with this digital review copy. All opinions are my own.
