So many feels! submitted by Xris on March 28, 2021, 1:31pm You know a book is good when it can make you cry. King is dealing with so much loss and uncertainty in his life, you want to keep reading until you know he's okay. Great book that deals with racism, classism, and homophobia. I'm going to read more of their books!

Wow! submitted by flemingj on July 7, 2021, 7:43pm The kind of book that makes you have a lump in your throat the entire time. It is sad,b ut so worth it.

Wonderful submitted by manz on January 26, 2022, 11:27am This is a wonderful and quick little book. I so enjoyed hearing King's voice and his view of the world around him. The book has such heart as it deals with some heavy topics.
