4.5
challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Kacen has created a beautiful piece about identity, questioning, the Pride movement, and the multi-marginalized. This is YA but speaks strongly to me as a 54 year old queer person. The message of belonging but also accepting yourself the way you are touched me.
I know this is a very personal story for Kacen and I’m so happy they’ve put this out in the world.
