This is a story of navigating the dramas of high school and figuring out who you are and where you want to be going very soon in the future. There are diverse characters who must deal with bullying, racism, and stereotypes on top of all the personal stuff of graduating high school. I enjoyed the friendships and families, but found there were too many characters to keep track of and to learn to care for as I read on.
I think this is a lighter young adult drama that many people will need to read as the author tackles what sexuality means for individuals and how difficult it can be to learn to be yourself and find the strength to be okay with yourself. The message of not fitting into one person's idea of gender will have readers seeing themselves inside this book.
I would have liked more things to actually happen, but the plot was based more on internal conflicts than characters taking big risks.
