I was really buttered by the good sharing and comments like “I could feel my ass growing.”  

And it felt very whiny. Heartbreak sucks. It does. I get that. But damn.

Alexis Hall has such a gift for writing words that make you stop, reread them and then want to share them with others. 

And a beautiful gift for writing lovable, funny, honest characters.

Wow. This book was a lot. 

A good kind of a lot, but a lot. I think it could have been 3 or 4 books. A ton of information but really important information. 

I urge everyone to read it.

Queer love for the win. I’m always here for it. 

I didn’t love the writing style. It felts extra YA to me (I’ve read some fantastic YA books). But I still enjoyed it a lot. Especially the last 100 pages.
