This book starts out appearing to be a story about one thing but then turned out to be something completely different.  I thought it was insightful, and reminds you that sometimes you don't really know people as well as you think.   Loved the music references, not sure how I feel about the religious ones.. but it is a complex book that leaves one with complex thoughts afterwards.

there are many intense subjects broached in this book, despite that, it is a hopeful book that reminds teens that while the world may feel against them at times, there are allies. Even though they are sometimes difficult to find.

Jeez. What an emotional rollercoaster! I loved every bit of it though. It felt real and painful yet it was also full of hope and tenderness. The audio also makes it 10x better

I KNEW that Chachu was a piece of shit and actually didn’t want her. He implanted this whole saviour story in her head when really he called the entire world to find out who could take her off his hands. And wow, what happened to Sal was awful and I don’t blame him for not wanting to know since he clearly remembers in his body and the way that he hates touch. Also AMA’s 3 kids?? That’s so beautiful 😭 not the boy and the girl coming together as one to make the 3rd! So sweet.
