This Is Why They Hate Us by Aaron H. Aceves

funny hopeful fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I cannot believe this is Aceves' debut novel!! what a gem- I can't wait to read whatever's next. 
things I loved: 
-frank conversations about Palestine, islamophobia, biphobia, and cross-cultural relationships  
-teens navigating friendships, sexuality, queerness
-mental health rep & therapy scenes that feel tender & realistic 
-friends to lovers, ofc 
-found family alongside loving first family doing their best
