There are so many good things to say about this book. The pacing of the story and the narration are both excellent, especially Max. He’s a perfectly written and narrated character. His story is unique, and unusual for lgbt stories, but it feels genuine and moving. They’re characters that you can’t help get invested in and care about. I don’t want to spoil anything, but any listener/reader who enjoys lgbt coming-of-age stories is likely to love this one, so give it a try!
