I really enjoyed this book and breezes through it! I loved the story and resonated with a lot of the coming out and mental health aspects from my own teenage years. There were just a few things that I had problems with- mainly the timeline because their ages/ school years didn’t match up with how the school districts that I am close to operate. I just got a little confused and hung up on that. I wish this book would have been a little longer so that we could have gotten to know some of the side characters a bit better. I don’t think that would have taken away from the snapshot approach of this book. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I know I will continue to think about it in the future.
