I am neither a teenager nor a boy, but this was a beautiful and engrossing story about family, friendship, hardships, self acceptance, trust, and love.
I highly recommend listening to Lin-Manuel Miranda narration of the audio book.

Overall, this is a good book! But some of the pacing and writing didn't really help with engagement.
