A very sweet book about how important Pride is and why it is so important. It was very heartwarming to read and manages to open up a lot of additional conversations like being afraid of talking to certain family members about politics and how letting people in on your identity should always happen on your own terms for example. I liked the main characters a lot, as well as Jakes parents. Jake immediately won my heart over playing his little farming sim, it was sooo relatable to me. I remember being a child and playing a lot of Harvest Moon DS, experiencing my first queer crush along the way (I was obsessed with Muffy). 

I think if I read this when I was younger some of the heavier scenes would’ve hit me harder, as an adult this was very okay to read. This book never gets really heavy though, don’t worry. There's also just the right amount of humor in there, especially within the friendships, it was nice to read :)

I'm also happy to report that I now think I'll read more by Phil stamper somewhen. I read The Gravity of Us a few years ago and while I really liked the story idea, the execution was only okay to me. But I think that one was his debut so that's totally fine.
