As a 30 something, I was obviously not the target audience, but it was a great YA, coming of age story. Add in being Black and Jewish, trying to come out, a blended family, mental illness, sibling bonds, first relationships, and more. It's a LOT for one book, but the author did a great job at not making it an afterschool special, not shying away from nuance, and telling a compelling story.

I absolutely loved this book, and would recommend it to anyone! The bi rep and mental health rep was great as well.

It was an easy YA read that centered around big topics like sexual orientation and mental health/illness. However, it didn't capture me and the ending felt rushed and not fully tied together.
