Great great book! I loved how the writer used difference perspectives. The storyline and the happenings are slowly coming together but by bit. Like little puzzle pieces connected all in the end. The characters are incredibly written. As well as the plot itself! I really like Jandy Nelson’s works! Though, for non native English speakers who just started reading in a different language, like me, it can be difficult to follow it. I’d recommend getting a pencil and write notes in the book or on a separate paper. All with all,  good book!

ok mm. my original review was Very Positive but upon rereading this has some issues, so docking like 2 stars because some things were quite difficult to read (in a bad way) but i still enjoyed the general themes of the story and the emotional effect it has on me. rating stuff is hard

outing!! done by one of the main characters!! NOT fun.

also the things i tagged as “moderate” are just the writing having those undertones; that stuff isn’t addressed in the book at all. everything tagged as “graphic” is addressed.
