I Wish You All The Best, by Mason Deaver

This is a very earnest and good-hearted book about a teenager who figures out they're nonbinary and is kicked out of their house by their parents because of it, and then has to try to grow from there. They go to therapy and deal with their anxiety and work on their relationship with their sister and make friends and even eventually get a boyfriend!

Deaver says in the author's note at the end that this is the kind of book they needed when they were a teenager, and I can absolutely see how this would be a valuable book for a queer teen to read.

However. It's not the kind of book that current me needs to read, it turns out. I felt very bad for Ben and their struggles, and wanted good things for them, but I never felt connected to the book in any kind of more personal way. It's just...it's so very obviously an Issue Book, where the serious things the main character is dealing with are the main point of the book, and I like there to be a little more going on, you know?
