This book had me at this gorgeous cover.

Adren and his mom are making the move from LA to the small Michigan town his mother grew up in. Gabe is leaving his small town in Illinois to move to California with his family. Both trans boys happen to meet at a random hotel in Nebraska and bond over this and their favorite band Damaged Pixie Dream Boi. The boys decide to have one great memory of hanging out and don't exchange any info, which they both almost immediately regret.

They both end up struggling with their new locations but eventually make new friends. They are also both trying to find each other.

This was a quick read, the story was really sweet and cute. I was rooting for these boys to find each other again. Are are a bunch of great side characters. It did a good job dealing with change and being yourself.

This was a fun, fast read!

Thanks NetGalley and Harper Collins Children's Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
