I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I'm usually hesitant to read YA novels from the 2010's, but this piqued my interest with it's LGBTQ-theme.

I didn't realized I was enjoying it until I found myself so angry at the protagonist's parents. I usually find that if I have a strong emotion about any character - that I care what happens to them (whether it's good or bar) - that I enjoy the story.

The author did a great job capturing the complicated feelings of LGBTQ characters and the family dynamics that can occur as well as friendship and relationship complexities.

I found it well written and really wanted to know what happened next.
