I received this book for free in return for my honest opinion.
When I saw this book was T4T I jumped at the chance to read it. Gage and Arden are adorable teens just trying to figure themselves out. Being trans, family strife, trying to make friends, and big moves are enough individually to cause someone stress. Their moment of kismet in Nebraska was enough to both give them hope in the moment and give them something to keep hoping for.
As with most books I was left wanting deeper moments. More depth from the characters, more depth from the relationships. I would have happily read a longer book to get MORE. In a time where queerness/transness are being attacked and erased I am always grateful for more books to celebrate that.
