This is my second read, and it's just as brilliant the second time around. Messy chaotic love is the most fun and most poignant. And also, I love the two turduckens in it.

Without going into the detail on the relationships, as that is central to the plot, this book was a fun read full of chaotic teenagers. Good exploration of being queer in a religious high school and themes of home and depicting southern states with nuance and pride, rejecting a common notion that the US South is only backwards and Republican. A great read, would recommend

I felt like the diversity in this book was really forced. Smith discovering their gender identity felt shoehorned. Also Shara realizing she was in love with Chloe felt unearned. So much of the book was spent on the mystery, the romance didn't feel like it had time to develop.
