A very emotional and moving story that covers a lot of ground - death of a family member, homophobia, child abuse at the hands of a parent, and racism. Even with all that, the story reads smoothly and your love for the characters helps you empathize with all these topics. I can’t wait to read more by Kacen Callender!
Graphic: Child abuse, Child death, Homophobia, and Grief
