This was a fun read with very vibrant characters and lots of diversity in a variety of ways.

This is a book that many of the young people I teach would love - it's engaging and discusses gender and sexuality in real, affirming ways alongside the navigation of honest, teenage years and high school politics.

The multiple POV were a lot to content with at times, especially remembering who was related to whom and who used which nickname, but your favourite characters called to you regardless.

One I would definitely recommend for complex teen explorations and relationships - fun with lots of serious undercurrents.
