So with the start of this book I really struggled with the MC Jonah’s self hatred and how much he loathed himself being fat. But over time and talking with my wonderful partner, I came to find it powerful, because actually, we don’t talk enough about what it feels like for teen boys to struggle with internalised fat phobia like we do for girls. Lonesborough really nails what it feels like to have obsessive crushes as a teen and just all round felt super familiar as a teen myself. I love that Lonesborough keeps writing First Nations queer main characters. His books are incredible and so so powerful! This book covers so many hard and heavy topics, but wow, this really is such an important story.
