Breezy YA

I wouldn't call this book a knock out or revolutionary but I did enjoy it. I read it in one sitting, so it was definitely entertaining - there aren't any huge rising or falling actions, just a nice story about a teen trying to work out who they are in the context of school and family pressure. I definitely appreciated the LGBTQ representation in the book as well.
