I think that this book really makes you think about teens that go through this and it describes that being queer isn't just a face, it is something that lasts for a long time, and if queer kid parents would read this book, it would help them understand that and a whole lot more. I love the way the book was written from both of the girls perspective.

It was a cute book. I haven’t read a lot of novels where it’s a homosexual relationship, so, as a bisexual woman, I was very happy about the representation. I think I was a bit removed from the book as a young adult, because sometimes I wanted to bang my head at the decisions they were making, but overall, I enjoyed it and would probably reread?

I wish we got to learn more about Ruby and Everly, or the new friendship between Ruby and Tyler, or even possibly Morgan and Lydia, but alas.

I wanted to like this book. It wasn't bad but it was a struggle to read at time. The plot is fine, the characters were fine, and the writing was fine. This just wasn't a book for me.

OMG OKAY. I have varying reactions to this. My reading journey went like: 😃🥲🫣🫠🤡🙅‍♀️🤔🙂

What I liked: The individual MCs, finding community and other queer people, plus lots of nuanced discussions and themes such as activism (big and small actions that counts), internalized homophobia, coming out and being safe, hiding/being the closet again, messy mom/daughter relationship with mom's dreams projecting on her daughter

What I didn't like that much: The romance, MCs keep saying messy things towards one another (and I had to remind myself that they're teens 😆)

I loved Ruby and Morgan as individual characters. But together? Not really. Mainly I feel like the chemistry lacked? It's not that convincing for me as a reader so I didn't feel invested in their relationship. I guess what really hooked me in this is just those nuanced topics, and how the characters navigated those discussions, and how they matured because of those. That I really liked.

Stills glad to have read this for Pride Month tho!

this was just average. i don’t want to say it’s bad but i just didn’t care for the mcs or the plot really. this is definitely a book someone will enjoy, it just wasn’t for me!
