Okay, this might be my favorite read this Pride Month 😭
It's simple, yet so poignant. Like there's no angst, no high stakes plot obviously, no drama or chaos, but it's just so *so* beautiful.
I love how mental health and therapy are a normal topic in Felipe and his mom's household. I love how this book teaches us to be brave in our own ways. I love how it encourages us to make connections with other people, because as an introvert, I definitely relate to that. I love how it also talked about fatness. And I love how precious and sweet Felipe and Caio are. I love how this book features love that's not explosive and intense, but rather, love that is quiet and yet heartwarming just the same.
Overall, this is such an amazing read. Would love to read it again for sure.
