First, thank you NetGalley and Skipstone Publishing for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Okay, what can I say other than this book is emotional? Like, I cried so much, and I’m not even kidding. This story is, and I can’t stress this enough so great. What I loved most is how it is written. At first, I thought it was an autobiography. It’s written so beautifully, once you started it you cannot stop it, well I did, because I couldn’t see any more with my tears. 

Okay, I have to admit that some things bugged me. Mostly, there are so many descriptions of body parts, chest, arms, lips… Also, this book felt like a NA book at some point, not always a YA one. Also, I wish we had seen more of her time in Alaska. 

But, it was easy for me to pass through it. Because there were so many beautiful things in this book. What I loved more is the relationship. Tracy with her brother, Tracy with her mother, and Tracy with her friends and lovers. Tracy is such a great character: she’s strong and ready to defeat patriarchy, homophobia, and other social issues. She’s strong in so many ways, but how she comes over all the trauma in her life, how she’s always there for her mother, her brother, and the people she loves. Also, she deserves so much, she doesn’t always allow herself to be sad, but her weaknesses are what make her strong too. 

Also, the fact that she’s written as a non-binary lesbian? Awesome

Also the songs? Bops honestly. 

Anyway, it’s a great book. Relationships, writing, characters… Everyone should read it. But please be careful of the TW!
