this book healed something in me that I didn’t know needed to be healed 😂😭 I laughed and cried so much reading this book. I adore Yami so much, she was such a fun MC. Yami and Bo were so sweet and cute, I really enjoyed their relationship. 

I loved Cesar so much and how he and Yami always had each other’s backs. And the arc about Cesar’s mental health was devastating and I just want to give him a hug 😭😭. The situation with Yami’s parents was heartbreaking but it made me so happy to see their mom come around in the end. The emphasis on love and family despite what they were all taught was really special to me. 

This book deals with heavy subjects but it has the right amount of levity and comic relief. I honestly could not put this down and read it in one sitting.  I’m so glad that there are more books about all kinds of queer experiences now that teens have access to. And to anyone that struggled with their identity or queerphobia in school I think this book is also for you.
