I loved this book. So great to see a book with strong LGBT themes that has nothing to do with the struggles of coming out or facing raging homophobia. Obviously those are important but they aren't the only things that LGBT teens experience. 
 I loved the portrayal of grief. 
 One question I had was about Ethan. Alix is clearly 16/17 while he is ~1. This significant age gap is never mentioned. Especially since there seemed to be some significant health issues I thought it would turn out that he was adopted (maybe a dead single mom patient of Alix's mom) but they do establish that he is her biological brother. Given how much anxiety Alix has about caring for him I thiughgt it was weird that they never mention how the dynamic must have changed going from only child to big sister after 14+ years.
