I will admit that I learned so much from reading this book! Aside from being a wonderful story, I Wish You All The Best is a wonderful resource. This book brings awareness to such an important topic and really discusses it in such wonderful detail. I applaud ANY book which tackles topics which at times may be hard to discuss. I Wish You All The Best touched my heart, made me smile, made me tear up, made me THINK, and overall made me so glad that I read it. The characters were detailed, the story lines were easy to follow, and the overall “YA” feel was perfect (unlike the last YA book that I read). (Disclaimer: I will never post spoilers in my reviews HOWEVER the comment section is completely fair game to discuss any and all specifics not spoilers) Goodreads Synopsis of I Wish You All The Best : I reaaaaally hope I can do this…I figure that the very least I can do is to choose a FANTASTIC book from the pile that I’ve been reading to apologize for not giving you a review in over 2 weeks! If you haven’t yet read Mason Deaver’s I Wish You All The Best, you must. Ok here goes post #2 in this stupid new block editor.

THANK YOU to the MANY of you who reached out after I wrote my last post! Apparently there are many, many, MANY of you out there who are struggling with this as well. Time to write my very first book review since this whole WordPress new editor debacle (aka how WordPress pissed off millions of bloggers). Ultimately ya it’s got non-binary representation which is awesome, but it also took a fun spin on the coming out story which was thoroughly enjoyable considering I’ve read so many variations of that in the past few days.Ok. Sat in this a bit, giving this book such a high rating for its representation alone would be unfair but I wanted to give it a high rating.

I’ve read a lot of books with Trans-girl leads but this is the 1st one with a non-binary person in the spotlight. It’s incredibly rare we get a non-binary character as one of our leads. and when this leaves them in the street they have to go live with their sister.įrankly the representation is what caught my eye in this book. We start with Ben De Backer a non-binary kid on the night they out to their parents (them/them pronouns). But much to my glee, this books turns a few of those on their head. I Wish You All The Best, having been my 7th lgbtq book in 5 days and in addition like my 12th LGBTQ contemporary total it’s pretty easy to recognize common tropes used.

I wish you all the best mason
