Thank you so much to Raincoast Books for the gifted copy of this one!
Oh my god I absolutely DEVOURED this!!! It was everything I wanted it to be and more - it was sweet and emotional, while being goofy and campy at the same time. Jasper has the ultimate himbo vibes and I’m literally obsessed, and also I would die for sweet, darling Charlie. I loved the dynamics of the STRIP group, with everyone just accepting each others quirks and weirdness without question. There is a really solid element of found family that I didn’t expect, and I really enjoyed it!
It was a little frustrating and sad to see how resistant Charlie was to opening up to others, but it also made complete sense for a trans boy at a very traditional boarding school to be wary! I just want all the best things for him, and I love the way things ended for him.
I will be screaming from the rooftops for everyone to read this book!
