Hopepunk has a unique format with dual storylines. One is of the present day and one is a sci-fi novella. Eventually, this format makes sense, but it made the book confusing and took me some time to get comfortable with. In addition to this, the characters in the story came across a lot younger than their stated ages. This really impacted how I connected with each of them and their journeys. Despite these issues, I did enjoy the novel. Norton, the author, tackles the issue of conservative Christian households and their relationship with the LGBTQ+ community. Hopepunk is a story of love overcoming hate which is something that I felt inspired by.
