"All Boys Aren't Blue" is a memoir with a unique perspective and voice. It's a great book for teens dealing with marginalization and a good read for others trying to understand other people. There were a few nit-picky things that I didn't like, but those aren't as important in the face of the vulnerability of the author in telling this story and how important it is for marginalized people to share their stories.

This book was so touching and enlightening. It's at once sad, but hopeful and inspiring. It's written for YA LGBTQIA+ but anyone and everyone can benefit from reading it. Go read it!

This is a story of hope— and also a story about how families can both protect and heal marginalized kids from trauma. The writing was sometimes confusing but the story is compelling. This is a book written with obvious love for other black, queer kids and those who love them.

Amazing book! Read it as it was displayed as a banned book during banned books week. 

 I am not the target audience of the book but loved and cherished this memoir all the same. Wonderful read. Highly recommend.
