I loved Cesar so much and how he and Yami always had each other’s backs. And the arc about Cesar’s mental health was devastating and I just want to give him a hug 😭😭. The situation with Yami’s parents was heartbreaking but it made me so happy to see their mom come around in the end. The emphasis on love and family despite what they were all taught was really special to me.
This book deals with heavy subjects but it has the right amount of levity and comic relief. I honestly could not put this down and read it in one sitting. I’m so glad that there are more books about all kinds of queer experiences now that teens have access to. And to anyone that struggled with their identity or queerphobia in school I think this book is also for you.

enjoyed so much the way their indigenous culture was so beautifully written into the plot, the way Yami talks about colonization so casually, and she seed the impact of colonization in everyday things, I try to do that and I think people should do it more too.
I loved the plot, the gay panic, I loved the bi representation through a boy, because it feels like bisexuality is mostly female in mainstream culture. I also loved that there were queer siblings, like that’s common, why is it so rare in books?
Finally, that ending had me tearing up. I loved Bo so much. The whole fake girlfriend thing was kind of predictable and hilarious, also the gay panicking and overthinking everything? so relatable! made me go back to my baby gay memories
