First, I want to thank the authors for that ending! I try to accept whatever ending books have because obviously they’re written that way for a reason, but I was BEGGING for this book to end the way I wanted it to lol

Tanner and Sebastian’s struggles, family dynamics, and views on their sexuality was kind of addictive to read about. I don’t want to call current queer romances ‘light-hearted’ or ‘flowery’, though they mostly have a happy ever after (that I’m not complaining about). I like that Autoboyography didn’t have that feeling. The romance was paced differently for one thing.

I’ve also got…different feelings about religion and sexuality or gender identity now than I did when I was little. There’s some religious trauma in there too. Naturally, I connected with Sebastian’s struggles even if I, thankfully, wasn’t around such a religious household. I can sympathize with him.

I love the title of this book too! I don’t know what else to say except that it’s just a really good book!
