I think I would've loved to read this in high school, being older it was a bit harder to relate. This book is a great representation of the teenage existential crisis about having to choose/being stuck on a path you're not sure about. I can see it as also resonating strongly with teens trying to understand/accept their queerness and desire for love in general. Very uniquely written as well, and the fact that it's a memoir makes it all the more powerful.
