This book did not answer the question it presented and it was very frustrating lol. The stories were interesting but super unfocused.

This is essentially a compilation of previously published photos. They are gorgeous if not only tied together by their time frame.

Easy five stars. Finished in one heartfelt sitting. I liked how this was part memoir, part fiction, as the author uses his coming out experience in high school as the basis for a more fully fleshed out and inspiring story. I've never read anything like it!

I don't know... I really didn't love the MC's in this one. It's Emily Henry, so of course it was very well written, but just not my fave of hers. I also found the pacing off. Will still read anything this author puts out though!
