I am OBSESSED with this book.

This is the sort of book that, once you’ve picked it up, you can’t put it down. I was desperate to know what happened, willing myself to read faster so I could find out the ending but also trying to savour every second.

The Freaky Friday-style premise was so much fun, and such a cool concept. Yes, there were a couple of structural stumbles, but I didn’t even care, I was enjoying the book that much! Max’s joy is infectious, and that 18-year-old mix of confident bravado and innocence was incredibly endearing.

What I loved the most about this book is how it explored how queer identity affects more than just who you’re attracted to, or how you identify. It affects your relationship with your family, with your friends, with your wider community, and – most importantly – how you perceive yourself. This book was such a good way of exploring that idea. For example, Max finds out that the bravery he had when he came out inspired his dad to change careers. It was a great spin on the ‘body swap’ concept, and worked well alongside the usual themes of seeing your life from an external perspective.

This book was a joy from start to finish, and I’m sure it will stay with me for a long time!
