I think this book is great for what it is. It reads like it was the author's high school fantasy, but in the case of this book, I believe that's excusable because this book could really help a lot of people who need it. It shows the mentality behind being both in and out of the closet and focuses on visibility. The ending kind of pushes being out and visible, which I find challenging because that is not safe or desired by everyone who is part of the LGBT+ community, especially transgender individuals. The main characters are generally lovable and funny, and work through their flaws and grow together. All in all, it's an enjoyable and (mostly) light read that should be taken for what it is: a YA LGBT+ novel with a happy ending.
