Full Disclosure is a YA coming of age story with a side of romance about Simone Garcia-Hampton, a teenager starting at a new school after a traumatic experience at her last school. Simone is HIV positive, but none of her new school friends know and she lives in fear of her secret coming out.
Simone has an inspiring and realistic character arc in this story of how she starts exploring her own sexuality and the extra, overwhelming challenges of doing that with her HIV status. This story will be very informative to people who aren't up to date on PrEP, U = U, and other significant medical advancements in recent years. With the help of her two dads, Simone has a lovely support system even if they aren't always perfect.
I absolutely loved what this story brings to readers of any age, and I think it will be enjoyed by anyone who likes YA lit. I hope it finds many, many readers to keep breaking down the stigma around HIV.
