I am obviously not the target audience for this book since I am well past my middle grade years but I genuinely enjoyed this work. I found it funny, heartfelt, and very sincere. I think it is so great to have such representation for kids in books because it touches on mental health as well as fear of rejection and sexuality. I loved the relationship between Rahul and his family and Rahul and his best friend and I could feel Rahul's anxiety practically leaping off the pages.
