Was an interesting read. Some parts felt too dumbed down or poorly explained. And I dislike their usage of "middle parts" instead of "private parts" as it conflicted with their reasoning as to why they did. If it is meant to be any part of you, why specify middle smh.

Wasn't really what I was looking for, but I stuck with it. For the age of the characters I dislike how many times urine got brought up. It felt like the emotional maturity of the characters flip flopped a lot, and that in an attempted to diversify the characters, many of them were reduced to their gender and/or sexualities. Like we didn't get much out of the LGBTQ+ group at the school other than an explanation of non binary from a member, and a list of their genders/pronouns.
