As I finish more of this book, the less I see any validity in the negative comments and reviews. They all surround a common theme, which is so minute and (if we are being honest) realistically handled, that its naysayers lose creditability - nothing bad was said about C/J and they were described exactly how a teenage boy would view it. ESPECIALLY since the book was written before the crusades of cancel culture.

Now that I am on the second to last section/part of this book, I can honestly say, if you are thinking of reading this book but held back because of the "transphobia" people claim is so bad - read it! There is not anything negative about that community expressed - more just the fact that C/J was one. I expected craziness based on how people discredited the book for it, only to find that not to be accurate at all.

I am really enjoying this novel. I feel like a lot of the negative things I've read in the reviews, are criticism on how the 15-year-old boy mind works. In my opinion, the author did a great job illustrating depression and how it works in the young teenage mind. I think this book is great so far!

I finished part 1 of this book and I can say so far the author has done an amazing job encapsulating depression - especially in adolescence. I really enjoy this book and the forward was beautifully written about the late author. I got this book years ago and am glad to be finally reading it.
