I really like the bit at the end about forgiveness - and how the author chooses to not forgive her parents, not yet at least, for their homophobic treatment of her after she was outed and lack of apology for this treatment as well.

Entertaining, endearing and no doubt validating for young queer readers. It’s also very brave, writing so openly and honestly about tricky issues like family, friendships and sex, without sugar-coating or just going for the funniest angle.
I’m not a Kiwi but especially enjoyed how New Zealand places and culture featured so heavily, though almost gasped at the various descriptions of what people were wearing in Dunedin, in winter, in the middle of the night - put a jacket on girl!

“Here is where I think I’m supposed to say that I’ve forgiven them. But life’s not that simple and feelings certainly aren’t.”
a lot of this book will be stuck with me for a long time. i didn’t know what to expect when i first got into it but it’s really worth it.
on a lighter note i pray for her liver.
