Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff
5.0

Adorable ghost story of a kid navigating identity and friendship the summer before middle school, all while grieving a beloved drag queen uncle and worrying about mom's struggling business.

Models what a supportive queer family, friendships, and school can look like. This story is really beautiful and had me in tears a few times.

The mirror thing is really relatable.

I wish my parents had read something like this when I was a kid.
