I really enjoyed this one and thought it was a fun way to start #ReadGraphicsWithNat book club! Illustrations were beautiful, which was unsurprising to me. Iconic last line: "boobs would be cool."

This novella was very cute, very fun to be back in the Simonverse. Honestly, my rating was negatively impacted by the number of Harry Potter references.

I just absolutely loved this book with my whole queer heart. Seeing Carey's pronouns change day-to-day made me feel very validated as a nonbinary person.

informative inspiring fast-paced

I received a free eARC from Netgalley and Rebel Girls in exchange for my honest review.

I loved the diversity present in this book, not just racial, but also geographical and the variety of different positions the featured folks held. I've read a book before with a similar synopsis, but didn't enjoy it; this book, however, was very well-done. The format is very approachable and the whole book is full of vibrant colors.
