the beginning of this book is very cliche YA coming of age, but the emotional turbulence of the plot really sneaks up on you. i love how everything came together and the conclusion is super sweet! if you're looking for an artistic worldview, flawed family relationships, obstacles in queer relationships, and fairly simple prose that is still gorgeous in its own way, this is definitely for you :)

minor/adult relationship (16 and 19)
