i felt quite convoluted reading the 1st half of this book, but the ending (the twists that happen towards the end) really solified the book for me. there was great character development and (what i really loved) great development of the dinamic of the relationships in this story.
there's some biphobia right at the beggining that never gets called out, but i guess i can understand why that is, and that growth is shown in other ways. but still quite uncomfortable. not that the book has very comfortable themes.

i know this a bit odd to write in a review, but a big reason for me not to enjoy the book very much in the beginning, was probably because my brother died on novemther 13th, which is a pretty big date in the book. I think i felt just as much out of it as griffin did. Which allowed me to go on this journey with him in a totally different way.
