A wonderful book about juggling friendship, family and school when you’re not quite a teenager and are still trying to find out who you are. Yes it’s about Martin questioning his sexuality and learning to drag, so is a wonderful Pride pick, but anyone should read it at any time because of how it celebrates diversity and depicts friends working together to overcome obstacles.A wonderful book about juggling friendship, family and school when you’re not quite a teenager and are still trying to find out who you are.

This book covers a lot - sexuality, mental health, teen friendships, family relationships, ... the list goes on. Because of the topics it can be more intense than you’d expect from the cover, but it’s just right for teen readers. I listened to the audiobook, which was superbly narrated, and I really enjoyed the whole story.This book covers a lot - sexuality, mental health, teen friendships, family relationships, ... the list goes on.
