OMG, I can't give this enough stars. I'm always saying representation matters, which it does, but even more, Own Voices is important. And this is an Own Voices story, and one that is so important.

I really enjoyed watching Storm's journey. We went from a point where he really hated his body to a point where he was much happier with himself and the way that he looked. It wasn't an easy journey for him, and it isn't one that should be brushed over. GR Lyons really put some things in this one that I had never thought of, having never been in Storm's situation, but they made perfect sense.

I was really knocked out and broken by some of what happened in this book. Storm was so strong through, he had to be. Honestly, I'm not so sure I could've been as strong and brave as he was at times.

I thought that Ethan was definitely the best person for Storm. Ethan was so incredibly patient with Storm, and made sure to follow Storm's lead instead of just doing what he thought he should do and when he though it should happen. That just showed me how good a person that Ethan was.

I really loved this book. ( )
