Full Disclosure

3.5 stars
- This has such awesome rep!! A black bisexual main character with HIV, MC is adopted by two gay men (one black, one Hispanic), one of Simone's best friends is asexual & a lesbian while the other is bi, and a black love interest.
- There were some minor writing/plot issues - for example, there were several parts where it felt like lines had been cut out and the moment jumped ahead - but considering this is a debut novel written by a seventeen year old (!!!), these things were easy for me to ignore.
- Author made a point in the authors note to say that this wasn't a story about tragedy but I really felt like it was - a majority of the story was devoted to the secret threatening notes & Simone worrying people would find out she had HIV. I almost wish this was more Emma Mills-esque - more slice of life-y with really fleshed our characters and relationships with Simone being HIV positive still obviously playing a role in that. I would have loved to hear more about Simone's dads and their family, her two best friends and their relationships, and see her relationship with Miles really blossom.
- While I didn't love this as much I hoped I would, I still think it is a really important read and will definitely be interested in more of Camryn Garrett's work in the future.
