Bro meets bro and they fall in love, make each other better, and realize that not everything has to be perfect. And oh man did I cry!

This is one of the most honest and evocative queer coming of age books I've read. It takes itself seriously without coming off saccharine or brutal. The characters are well rounded and so easy to root for. I loved it. No notes.
