If you're queer, I would recommend against reading this before coming out. Some parts of the book might scare you and it definitely doesn't happen that way for everyone. But it helps to understand yourself once you're out. I felt that, a lot of the things Holland questionned about herself, I do too. It was reassuring to know Julie Anne Peters understands it and went through it herself.

It's a very good LGBT+ novel and I wish there were more of those, especially for teens and young adults.
