The book had some really good metaphors for getting through tough times in life. 

But for a YA book had too much smut.

This book was so so good. I loved the writing, it was very emotional and helped attach me to the characters really well. It’s maybe a little too good, a description of a panic attack was so realistic I had to take a break for a few days, so be careful of that.

Het is heel queer op een superfijne manier en er is iemand met een glazen oog, maar verder is het geen heel diverse groep mensen lijkt het. Super leuke manier van schrijven en meta-dingetjes in het boek, daar houd ik van. Veel gelachen, klein beetje traantjes gelaten en vooral gewoon genoten van de cozy vibes en interesse in de 'main maar toch back-up story line' over het wrak.

Pro tip: Lees niet de Nederlandse vertaling!

It's obvious the author isn't '...'phobic, it's a very queer book. But there are some mentions of queer people not being accepted by others.

I really enjoyed this book! The journey of self-discovery and healing that the main character goes through was inspiring, and I became really attached to the story. The combination of the strong character development and the plot events and how they intertwined was perfect, and I was truly invested in what was happening. I loved the feeling of found family and the emphasis of how important close friends are, as well as the value of all our relationships we have. All of the characters were well-rounded with their own personalities and stories, and all went through their own healing and growth. A truly powerful story :) and I was really happy with how it ended, after a very intense climax!
