5.0

“Lose You to Find Me” by Erik J Brown is structured like a contemporary queer YA romance, but it’s much more about growing into one’s self and realizing what we deserve and owe each other.  Tommy works in the restaurant of a retirement community and has a second chance with the first boy he ever crushed on.  In the meantime, he and the great cast of friends have to figure out their futures and what they want from life.  It’s sweet and funny and much more nuanced than this type of #book usually is.  Lovely bit of comfort fluff.
