so-soIt was fine. I enjoyed the speed of the story, and I was endeared to most of the characters, but I didn‘t really feel like anything‘s new was being said or revealed to me in a lasting way. I appreciate the book exists and I don‘t regret reading it
pickA page turning thriller YA. After coming out, Connor's religious mother sends him off to a gay conversion camp called Nightlife on a secluded island where other queer kids are forced to conform to the camp's extreme ideologies. However, it becomes apparent that the camp harbors some deadly secrets as he is forced to survive and find a way to escape in this teen page turner.

There‘s a LOT of darkness in this book. But there‘s a lot of hope, too — the kind that comes from resilience. The plot is gripping as hell, & the characters are funny, & earnest. I was impressed by the romance — it somehow manages to be a slow burn & insta-love. But I loved the ending the most, tbh. There is no neat bow or fairytale end, which makes the themes resonate even more. ★★★★☆
Your country is the United States OF America.
OF!
That means that you are part of the continent of America—North America to be precise.
When you are in Costa Rica you are in Central America.
Which means....
Drumroll please...
You are STILL in America.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! This was SO frakking amazing! I can‘t gush enough without giving it all away, but I haven‘t been this gutted by a queer book in a long time. This is a sometimes dark but also funny book about coming out, conversion therapy, fighting back, and finding home. If you know a queer person or love one, or if you are queer, do yourself a favor and read this.
Jumping in with both feet! Zucchini bread is baking, pizza is on its way for dinner, and I have the whole night to read!
