I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Edward has done it again! This book is beautiful and I adore it.
Leo is a grumpy trans boy and Abby is a chaotic maybe-queer ball of sunshine. They're teenagers who feel like teenagers. They're messy and young and searching and determined to stick up for themselves. They may not have the words to describe themselves (or like the words available to them) but they're so earnest in their pursuit of understanding. They want to belong and you can feel it in every word.
I fell in love with NYC again while reading this book. I've lived here for years and years, I've been to all the sites Leo and Abby visit. I've worked those Thanksgiving buffets for parade members. But seeing all the little ways the vibe here helps Leo and Abby feel comfortable, how they learn and grow? It's amazing and heartwarming. I love how fully Edward captured that feeling.
Once again, I'll be shouting at everyone I know to go read this ASAP!
