I fell in love with this story when I first read it when I was about 12 years old and read it over and over. Now, over 16 years later, I decided to pick it up again. While I am far more critical of some of the content these days, I still enjoyed the story very much. It was a very nostalgic re-read for me.
Helloooo, Internet Land. Bitty here!
Y’all... I might not be ready for this. I may be a former junior figure …
I unexpectedly... hated this book. If you're looking for a cute LGBT+ romance - this isn't it. If you're looking for a likable protagonist - this isn't it. And that's the crux of the issue, I hate Rafe. He is in turns judgemental about everyone, woe is me about being 'labled', and self-congratulatory about how open minded he is. It drove me nuts! I finished this book in the hopes of satisfying character growth. Alas, this did not happen.

This book makes me want to live.
It feels like a reminder. A reminder of the moment I realised that I didn't want to die and the years long journey of reaching a point where I wanted to live.
I had this book recommended to me as an audiobook and that is how I experienced it. I can highly recommend it in turn.
I started this book and found myself needing to surrender to not understanding, to letting the knowing grow in the experiencing of it. It was a feeling and a rising clarity that beautifully mirrored the story itself.
That is the one word I would use to describe this book - beautiful. It was unlike anything I have read before and it was a joy to experience.
Lovely, lovely little story.
