While I did enjoy the story at the end I felt it took a great deal of time to get there. The first two thirds read very slow for me. I liked the inclusivity and LGBT positive writing. I found the underlying theme of mental health/wellness to be incorporated in a way that worked well within the tale. It was also very relatable though not in an on the nose way.

I do not know if I will read this again. If I do it will likely be with my kids when they are teens as the overall vibe is wholesome and I think they would like it.
