However there was also several things I didn't think were resolved well, lacked consequence, came out of nowhere or were skipped over.
All in all I would give Arthur's story a 5/5 and Teddy's more of a 3.

A few of the characters were quite lovely though, and the basic plot was a new idea for me.

The characters came off so nice and you did feel for their situation and they became your friends throughout the book.
The only negative that I had was that the characters were very formal a lot of the time and sometimes what they were saying was very unlike how normal people communicate. It was difficult to relate to them in them moments.
Other than that, this book had amazing twists and turns and it properly captured what coming out can be like for many people. I like how Lizzie wasn't immediately the bad guy because she didn't understand, yet they also accepted her and gave her time without being angry.
