I love this series and I really wanted to like this book but bleh. Maybe I have to remind myself that a lot of authors in this series are really young? Maybe I need to cut them a break? This books had a lot of positive energy and I feel weird critiquing it as an ally because who am I to do that but the first time I raised my eyebrow at the book was when the author mentioned that one of the A’s in LGBTQIAA+ stands for ally. I’m pretty sure it does not and allies should not try and insert themselves or center themselves in these spaces. At least that’s what I’ve always learned when listening to queer folks discuss what allies should and shouldn’t do. I was also disappointed that it took about 2/3 of the way through the book before the author mentioned anything about the trans community or queer people of color specifically. And when it was mentioned it seemed very brief as if a box was being checked. Overall I guess this was a pretty short book and the author seemed very kind and optimistic so 3 stars.
