This is absolutely a must-read for any LGBTQ+ reader!!
I thought this story was incredible and Andrea Lawlor's writing had so many wonderful quotes and statements that hit me with poetry-vibes. I think that there's a lot that anyone in the Queer community can relate to with Paul, trying to understand our bodies and reckoning with what it means to be Queer in modern times, learning how to love in these unorthodox ways.
My only teeny-tiny qualm with the book were certain plot points or passages. While I think the whole of the story flows wonderfully, there were moments when I was wanting things to happen in a new way or would have liked something different. (Also, maybe not all of the verbiage or ideas are very 2024, so just bear that in mind.) However, that does not mean the book was bad at all. Paul is a flawed individual that the reader can look at and relate with; we as individuals can learn so much from such a vastly intimate person.
Overall, I loved this book and will recommend this to many other people, because I think that whoever you are, there is something to relate to in this work.
