I picked up this audiobook because I missed Avi Roque’s voice after finishing Cemetery Boys. I did not expect how many tough issues Gael would be dealing with. I really loved how Gael’s thoughts and feelings were explained, even if the way he acted sometimes really frustrated me (but then I remember that he’s a teenager and that is to be expected).
Graphic: Mental illness, Transphobia, Grief, Suicide attempt, Abandonment, and Dysphoria
Moderate: Bullying, Homophobia, Infidelity, Panic attacks/disorders, and Outing
Minor: Cursing and Suicidal thoughts

Ad-pr.
I loved this. I reached a point where I couldn't actually put it down, and was reading it walking around the house trying to do life stuff (wasn't very productive). It is so moving and honest. There are so many layers to this coming-of-age story, and I would in moments move from smiling to crying. Bulla will now be an auto-buy author for me. Love, love, love.
