I Wish You All the Best

epic_han shared a tip "was so so good!! the writing style is very casual and i loved the representation, the only thing i didn’t love is that a lot of the amount of time is the story is skipped over, which i understand but i definitely lean towards books that are more day by day."

kylie_ingram shared a tip "I am actually really picky with books so its hard for me to actually fully read, but when i grt into one i normally finish it in the day, so i just finished book lovers it was great"

max_pohlman shared a tip "I love the book. The author does a great job of writing the main character and puts them in many realistic situations. No matter how frustrated it makes me, they react realistically to the situations. My only complaint is that we didn't get to see much of the actual relationship."

flora_2017 shared a tip "If your nonbinary your going to relate to this book. Whether you've been kicked out or not, or if your AMAB, your going to related to Ben."

screeches shared a tip "It took a minute to really get into the book, but once I did I couldn't stop reading. Never have I related to a book so much. The author did an amazing job with the representation while still making it entertaining. Definitely recommend"

leigh_croce shared a tip "i love this book so much! it’s really about non-binary acceptance and the struggles of being non-binary and i really resonate with it!"

kate_birster shared a tip "My child asked me to read this for a better understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and loved being able to discuss it after."

arlolovesheartstopper shared a tip "I just finished this book it is so beautiful. Anyone has any similar recommendations to this topic (coming to terms w/identity & overall figuring yourself out)?"

chloe_hodges_5944 shared a tip "This is my comfort book to be honest. The story line is great and reading what Ben was going through and getting better along the way with their friends, art, and NATHAN. Also reading/watching Nathens and Ben relationship grow was really amazing and sweet."

kate.books12 shared a tip "I loved this book. It had a really great story and a great pace. This book was so good and an amazing book about acceptance and identity"

abigail_stone_528 shared a tip "an absolutely amazing book that I cried to many times and has really helped me through hard dysphoric nights. Very dear to my heart <3"

blake_7121 shared a tip "10/10. I read this book in two days, the fastest I've read a book before, and I loved it! I would definitely count this as a comfort book aswell!"

ghost_7264 shared a tip "It was really cute and a bit sad. Loved the nb rep. It did hit a little close to home, as I am currently scared to come out to my parents, not in fear of being kicked out, but just overall being not accepted."

sam_7443 shared a tip "This book was such an amazing read- and the way it constantly puts in the struggle of not fitting into your body really makes it realistic. The romance is a slow build, with sweet moments, and it really feels like the spotlight is shared between the struggles of being non-binary and the romance that's blooming.#lgbtq"

corvxs shared a tip "I Wish You All the Best has phenomenal representation. Yet I feel like this book was written by a middle schooler and not by a senior in high school. But you could argue it could be Deaver trying to encapsulate Ben’s coming-of-age emotions. Or it could just be my distaste for the writing style. This book’s characters felt unfinished and one dimensional. While Ben is an amazing example of coming out as non-binary while a teen, they don’t feel fleshed out enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

messy_file_system shared a tip "I read this a few months back. All I wanna say is wow it was amazing, if I could and had it irl I would read it as much as possibly. My first time reading I didnt read the description because I found it in the LGBTQ+ section and just started reading. I burst into tears when I realized Ben is nonbinary. It made me really happy, after being upset with so many books in the past it's one of the first books I heavily happy stimmed from. The pain Ben feels can be shown so deep even if they hide it"

ur_mama shared a tip "it truly is one of the best books i've read. as a trans person, i felt myself relating so much to bens story, with the struggle of dysphoria and acceptance. this feels like a must read to any young lgbt kids who are figuring themselves out"

ridethatcyclone shared a tip "When I finished this book I laid in my bed staring up at the ceiling and crying happy tears, that should p much tell you all you need to know"

sleepy.z shared a tip "i read this all in 1-2 day/s, it’s so heartfelt and personally i like things that are relatable to read so finding out that this was a nbxb romance was rlly nice, maybe i’m just a suck up for well-written queer romances tho haha"

mattie_rogers_1842 shared a tip "This is SUCH AN AWESOME BOOK. It was kinda sad at some parts but would all in all recommended. After you start reading you can’t stop. I read this book in 2 days with school and home stuff. Is SOO GOOD"
