Also, some things could have been condensed because it made the latter half of the book feel a little rushed. I wanted to see more of the main gal thriving and wanted a little less heavy handedness of the message. I say this and I remind myself that this is for teens, not a 30 year old queer.
Again I did enjoy it quite a bit!

my only complaints are that the ending seemed to be concluding for forever, and a couple of jokes in places that didn’t seem fitting— but otherwise, good story!

For a book about a queer youth, there was A LOT of homophobia and transphobia in this book.

The first third of the book was painful to get through. The second third picked up. And the last third sped through everything.
It took me a month to finish this, and that included me pushing through the first hundred pages over three days, not reading it for a month and completing the rest of the book slowly over two hours.
There was just a lot going on in this story and it would’ve been much better if the story arc spanned volumes instead of just pages of one volume.
I did not enjoy the characters.
