I really appreciated the wealth of representation in this story, and how no one was really One dimensional. Everyone got to have depth and growth. It also did a great job of tackling big issues; both an important insight/lesson for those that can’t relate (hello, I’m white, cis female) and important “hey that’s me, I feel seen” for those that can relate. 
Reads like it would be friendly for middle to high school, but highly enjoyable for me as an adult also.
