Trade Review"Refreshingly original, this debut by trans author Sanchez is a thoroughgoing delight that’s not to be missed." — Booklist (starred review) “Mind-bogglingly good. The narrative takes a smart, careful look at the intersection of identity and politics, and the fight in standing up for friends and ourselves, even against people that we love. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for Mark all the way. With everything that’s happening in the world right now politically, this is a novel that every teen needs.” — Kacen Callender, author of Felix Ever After "Charming, stunning, and unapologetically queer.” — Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best and The Ghosts We Keep "Sanchez expertly portrays political drama, toxic masculinity and activism all in a character holding fiercely to his queer identity." — Shelf Awareness “Heartwarming, inclusive, and intelligent. A recommended purchase for any library, especially those where books by Becky Albertalli and Benjamin Alire Sáenz are popular." — School Library Journal
