Overall, I struggled to read this book. The plot is lovely and moving, but I don't this book was for me. I don't really know how to describe. I wanted to like this book so much and I kept trying to care about the characters and the plot, but I couldn't.

Wie die Autorenbeschreibung schön ausgedrückt hat, ist dieses Buch für Menschen die sich sonst in Bücher kaum repräsentiert sehen. 
Es ist eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, Liebe, Selbstakzeptanz und Wachstum. 

Eine wunderschöne Story mit typischem Happy End, was genau das war, was ich gesucht habe. 

Das einzige was mich immer wieder etwas aus der Handlung gezogen hat, war, dass Felipe den Leser immer wieder direkt angesprochen hat.

I loved this book. I would've loved it even more as a teenager because back then finding a fat character with a happy ending was like finding a needle in a haystack, much less a gay one. Felipe's worries about staying with Caio were so personally understood that I felt transported to being an awkward teenager again. I loved slowly seeing pieces of Caio's authentic self come through as we saw Felipe realize the beauty and bravery of being his authentic self. The ending was the perfect coming-back-to-the-beginning ending in my opinion, especially if you start by reading the dedication of the book. Overall, amazing and sweet story that I'm going to cherish for a long time.

I felt like Caio's mother's actions warranted the emotional abuse tag. She's somewhat controlling, in some ways a helicopter parent way, but in others a controlling your life way. IIRC, Caio also faces some indirect homophobia from her.

Oh, my heart. Easily the best YA book I've read this year. I regret putting this off as long as I did.
