Emotional, hopeful and inspiring. These are the three words I would use to describe this beautiful book.
This book is one of those coming of age stories that perfectly describe the reality of being a queer teen and how the ups and downs shape us as we grow as people.
I’m really glad I read this book as it depicts such a range of thought and emotions. But truly I loved this book because it had me laughing my ass off one minute and in tears the next 😭
Although it was a beautiful read I would like to preface that the f slur is used a lot at the beginning of the book.
