"Such poetic prose! I’m already so invested in these characters. The descriptions of the early years beautifully capture the complexity of being a teen in general with the added layer of being an LGBTQ teen in small town America. The main character’s perspective as an adult is an artful illustration of trying to open back up to trusted relationships after trauma. I’m so curious to see where this goes." — May 21, 2026 07:51AM
