Fraternal twins Clare and Audrey begin to separate and grow into their own after the death of their older brother, Adam. Audrey is having trouble coming to terms with her neurodivergence and Clare is figuring out her gender and sexual orientation all while dealing with a crush on a nonbinary student.
The writing was well done and easily brings the reader back to the uncertainness of growing up. The harassment of queer and neurodivergent students is not sugar-coated but does sh0w that being bullied in high school is not the end of the road to finding happiness. This book did a great job of shining a light on characters that tend to be kept in the background. Recommended for ages 14-18.
