But right now? Right now LGBTQIA+ teens don’t need this sad story. So if someone really wants to find one then by all means it’s not a difficult feat. Hell, for a long time the only LGBTQIA+ books that anyone could get their hands on were these sad stories. I know that they are important, but these kinds of sad stories have been done before. I am not denying the need for sad stories. I mean that a terribly tragic thing happens in this story that LGBTQIA+ teens don’t need to read about. I mean that a terribly tragic thing happens in this story for things to start to look okay for the main character. And by that I mean a terribly tragic thing happens in this story for everyone who is a horrible asshole to turn a sudden new leaf. It Looks Like This is a Tragic Queer Story. And ratings often correlate with recommending a book, and in all honestly I cannot recommend It Looks Like This to LGBTQIA+ teens. I honestly can’t give It Looks Like This a rating because my thoughts on the book are far too complicated to whittle down to a number out of five. A copy of this novel was provided by Walker Books Australia for review.
