4.0

3.5? Maybe? Not sure.
It's weird cause I have a few things I didn't really like, and they'd normally be decisive on not enjoying the book. But with this one I still really enjoyed the story.
I think it's partly thanks to the good and addictive writing. I really couldn't put it down!
Also Wyatt is very loveable.

I appreciated how there were multiple trans characters at different points of their self discovery, or people questioning their gender.
I also appreciated that the main character wasn't perfect and that his mistakes were directly addressed and ultimately he realised what a mean person he had been and tries to make things better.
Neil is, however, a little toooo mean. Too selfish. Too bad of a person. Enough that I don't really understand how two different people could be into him at this point...
Even his "big gesture" in the end wasn't very nice if you look at it through his family's perspective...
But other than Neil, I liked the rest of the characters, especially Wyatt, but couldn't quite get behind the romance, not as much as I wanted to, not 100%.
