About the book

Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli, Mason Deaver's stunning debut will rip your heart out before showing you how to heal from tragedy and celebrate life in the process."Heartfelt, romantic, and quietly groundbreaking. This book will save lives." -- Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens AgendaIt's just three words: I am nonbinary. But that's all it takes to change everything.When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, whom Ben has never even met. Struggling with an anxiety disorder compounded by their parents' rejection, they come out only to Hannah, Thomas, and their therapist and try to keep a low profile in a new school.But Ben's attempts to survive the last half of senior year unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student, decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their feelings for each other begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier new life.At turns heartbreaking and joyous, I Wish You All the Best is both a celebration of life, friendship, and love, and a shining example of hope in the face of adversity.

    „wish you all the best, Benjamin De Backer.” They aren’t the same words, but I know exactly what he means. “I love you too.“

    I wish I had read this book much sooner. The industry is really lacking in queer representation, especially trans stories. The way it's written is stunning and I can see myself in Ben's situations again and again. It felt pretty real reading it. Read their thoughts and their actions. How they want to fit in... Ben slowly found themselves and opened up to others, and Nathan was heartbreaking. (NATHAN IS SUCH A SUNSHINE, AHH) “I Wish You All the Best” is a sweet and soft story about a non-binary teenager finding their voice. This book is important to so many people, including me. It's definitely one of my favorite reads and won't be the last time I read it. The book is really comforting in its own way.

    Einfach eines der besten (queeren) Bücher, die es gibt. ❤️

    Eigentlich ist es ein Re-Read, denn die deutsche Übersetzung habe ich letztes Jahr gelesen und war sofort eines meiner all-time favorites. Das Original steht der Übersetzung natürlich in nichts nach. Mason Deaver schafft es einfach herausragend, die Lebensrealität einer nichtbinären Person empathisch und echt rüberzubringen. Ein Buch, das - zumindest mir - aus dem Herzen spricht. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
