Can't Take That Away by Steven Salvatore
For the most part, I did enjoy this. I loved the diversity, especially the fact that the MC is genderqueer because we need more books like that! I appreciated that the chapter titles were the MC's pronouns at any given moment. I adored Carey's relationship with their mom and liked the overall plot.
BUT, I didn't quite connect to this as much as I hoped I would. I didn't really click with the characters, or the romance, so I always felt a little disconnect while I was reading. I'm not sure what rating I should give it at this point because it wasn't a bad book whatsoever, so giving it a lower rating feels unfair. But because I just didn't connect, I also don't feel right giving a higher rating either. So for now, no rating.
If you love or want to read books about genderqueer characters living their best life, please check this out! Or if you just love LGBTQIAP+ books, then read this too.
