I loved the diversity of this book, it’s my first one where the narrator is bi - which is very exciting following my own sexual realisation this year. As someone who grew up when there was much less awareness of LGBT, I wonder if schools really are this sexually diverse and it makes me wonder what I’ve missed! It explores the stigma around bisexuality which I’ve felt myself and really related to - you can tell that Garrett really connected to her characters which in turn made us connect. I feel some side characters could have wider interests and we could learn more about friendships there but overall I’m just glad I connected so much with Simone.
The way Garrett wrote about HIV was amazing - it explores this so well, educating and challenging stereotypes throughout. Having read Detransition, Baby this wasn’t new info but reading it through the eyes of a teen receiving treatment was. I’m so glad I finally got to reading this. You can really see that Garrett was writing for her age group of the time - I’m shocked this was written by a 17 year old as a debut book!
Nb. I somehow got my hands on a proof edition of Full Disclosure from a 2nd hand book seller, so some of my comments may not reflect the final product!
