I read this, start to finish, in less than 24 hours. Once I picked it up, I did not want to put it down.

Told in journalistic style, this is the story of Avery's senior year of high school. Avery (she/they) is shipped off across the country to live with their brother Lucas after a nasty divorce. Turns out, Lucas is secretly gay and living with his boyfriend Ezra. Would have been great to let Avery know so that when they came out as bi and nonbinary, maybe they would have had some support. Anyway, now Avery's got to figure out senior year, hopefully with some new friends.

I loved the way this was written. It felt like reading a 17-year-old's journal as Avery goes through SO MANY things and emotions as she dates first a boy then a girl, applies to college, and grapples with their complicated feelings about Lucas and their mom. Plus navigating their own disability (IBS) and what it's like to worry about Ezra (arthritis/fibromyalgia). It also tackles the complicated emotions about sexual pressure (borderline assault) and mental health.

This is an incredible read for teenagers and lovers of YA fiction.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review.
