I enjoyed this book. So heartwarming and so authentic to a struggle that many people face. I felt so many different emotions and could really understand the characters emotions. At parts it was a challenging read filled with bigotry.  But eye-opening and honest too.

I bought this book as part of Amazon's "First Reads" program, and the copy there made it sound like a romcom. Unfortunately, it's not funny. It's also probably about 100 pages too long (a lot of the prose is very repetitive) and I found the main character really annoying with the way he was always projecting on everyone and having these over dramatic spirals. No idea how 2 different guys were into him.

What a gorgeous story. Emotional and thought provoking and sadly possibly quite relatable for anyone that is part of the LGBTQ+ community and a religious group.

I would definitely recommend reading this book to others.
