Beautiful story - some sad parts and overall warm feel.

I read this book because some parents were trying to get it banned which after reading just seems so silly. This was a beautiful book with themes of friendship, family, racism, bullying, grief, and questioning one's sexuality/identity. There were some sad parts but the book leaves you with an overall warm feeling.

Heartwarming story

This is a beautifully written coming-of-age story. I would recommend this book for ages 12 and up based on its themes of grief, identity, racism, and bullying.
