What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL book. The 'hype' around this book is 100% deserved. I was expecting to be disappointed, as I often am with really popular books, but this might be the best thing I've read so far this year.
Every message in this was gorgeous, and I loved the queer rep. It made me realise that I've hardly ever, or indeed ever, read a book about gay characters without there being some sort of conflict caused by their sexuality. Their sexuality being completely accepted, even by unlikeable characters, was such a breath of fresh air, and truly what we need more of in media.
I'm in love.
