This book is not what I expected it to be. You should definitely look up the trigger warnings before you go into it cause it start with a lot more serious subject matter than I expected which I didn’t mind but I wish I knew before going in. Dix book is also very very sexual and definitely hyper sexualizes The bisexual main character which I really disliked. He literally hits on his 31 year old teacher. I think this book could be good for someone who needs help processing their coming out journey but I also think that it leans into stereotypes that I don’t necessarily agree with. The last sentence of the book is amazing but I feel like some of the writing is kind of immature. The entire plot of the book is the main character having sexual thoughts about other people and the main love interest his friend. It’s just not my thing
