My heart! This is such an achingly beautiful story about family, friendship, identity, and acceptance. It was so easy to become invested in the characters; I only wish there were more of them!

For instance, I would’ve loved it if Julian’s circle of friends (who we meet briefly but don’t get a chance to really know) could’ve been fleshed out a bit more, but I wouldn’t say that the story necessarily feels lacking as is. Just that it had the opportunity for a strong “found-family” element, but doesn’t quite get there.
