Actually adored this!!!
Was so freaking cute, I love Ben and I love Nathan and I love their friendship.
This was the perfect upper end of YA for me, it took serious topics and hard conversations and didn’t dumb them down or make them seem easier than they actually would be. Ben didn’t realise they were non binary and then everything fell into place which I loved. I know it’s good to have great representation of coming out but it’s definitely not always like that and I appreciated that here.
I think Ben and their sisters relationship was spot on, and again im so glad to see everything between them didn’t just get wrapped up in a bow. We don’t have to dumb down things for our YA readers! A lot of them are going through these EXACT things and they deserve to see realistic representations.
The themes in this are quite heavy but Mason balanced it out beautifully with moments that made me scream, cry, kick my feet and twirl my hair.
I think this book would do wonderfully at my school library
