Review: 

The book honestly felt eh to start off with. I’m not the biggest fan of in media res, which is how it started, but yeah. I was generally super confused, especially in the beginning. I didn’t feel emotionally attached to any of the characters, so it took me forever to read. The imagery was good I guess though. The ending was cute, which was the only thing that saved the book. It was also not own voices so yeah.

Also, TW for homophobic parents
