A necessary book in these times.' - Jamie Beth Cohen, author of Wasted Pretty'The characters in Matty Bennett's novel-in-verse encapsulate the nuances of queerness-the awkwardness, the fury, the tenderness. It's a book I wish I had in high school, a time when I desperately needed queer camaraderie, especially in my grief. In We Give Support, Not Advice, ''we are reminded why we exist.'' - Lisa Summe, author of Say It Hurts.…
