I have rarely felt so hard-core exposed-and seen-by a book than I felt with this one. From not realizing you’re queer until later even though you’re surrounded by queer family/friends, to being convinced you’re straight & that it’s homophobic to think you might actually be queer, to so much in between. I lost count of the moment Imogen’s thoughts and feelings felt eerily like my own. Thank you, Becky Abertalli, for letting me and I’m sure so many others know we are not alone in our feelings.
