"Love is worth wanting"

FYI: Fatshaming & Racist Grandma, Homophobic Aunt,

I finally read a Becky Albertali book! I'm still waiting on my Simon Vs hold to come through. Not reading Simon first didn't have any negative effects and didn't spoil anything for Simon Vs at this point either.

There were really great moments that I love love love. Like the musings on fat geeks, slutiness, the birth control talk, Molly teling people to fuck off, the rain scene, and the ending with Grandma.

Yay for Zoloft! I'm currently on it and it's working for me. I wish I had read books talking positively about mental health medicine. Yay Pinterest crafting and Lin Manuel Miranda!

This was really cute and sweet and funny and dramatic and emotional.

I was totally swept up in this and loved every minute of it. I totally see why people love her books so much. Part of me felt really seen.

Notes Made While Reading:
