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!
