this book is beautiful. I would recommend it to every queer kid (especially those who struggle with mental health). it's funny and heartbreaking and oh so sweet. Yami is such a reina and I love her. the side characters are fab too and the plot moves quickly in just the right way.  TLGTCS is so deep and yet keeps it light and funny. PLEASE READ IT

This YA book is all told from a high school girls perspective so it’s definitely made for high schoolers. It’s sweet, funny, revenant and cute. It’s tough and a reminder that high school is tough. A reminder to be kind to them for me. It has some tough conversations around families and unconditional love. Highly recommend as a great read ❤️

This book was so cute, I couldn’t put it down! Growing up queer in a religious family, I understood the tension and apprehension Yami felt about being honest about who she is. This author does a great job of capturing that dichotomy of wanting to be yourself but having to keep yourself safe. The cast of characters are wonderful and add to the richness of the tapestry created by the author. As someone who does not have the most supportive family when it comes to being queer, seeing characters who do have supportive parents always makes me a little sad because there are so many kids who don’t have that, so it’s so important for them to be able to see that it can get better, that they’re supported. All in all this book was adorable and relevant and I absolutely loved it!

absolute banger of a book. I'm so glad I finally decided to read it for sapphic September and I'm mad at myself for taking so long to have read it.

this was an amazing coming of age, romantic sapphic love story of finding you should not be ashamed of who you are and who you love. those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter. 

tu eres mí otro yo
