3.5 I wanted to like this more than I did, especially because I've already given it to some kids and they LOVED it and wanted to talk about it. I agree there needs to be more bi/pan/queer representation, but I'm not sure this is the best version of that. Also, she pushed into some John Green territory of what adults think teens say vs what they actually say. Understood the 3 narrator piece but I would have liked to hear from all 3 characters at end, instead of just through Jupe's lens. It really felt like HER story, with the other 2 voices thrown in because an editor suggested it.
