This book was an absolute JOY to read. It takes a minute to get used to the writing style and the format, but I ended up LOVING it. The main duo is so intertwined, entire chapters are told from their joint perspective known as “we the F&N Unit.” It’s a fun twist, very unique and personal to the story and adds a lot to the relationships and story-telling.

The ending made me saaaaad, I wanted them to reunite so badly, for Fay to come out and hopefully they’d be friends again, but I understand the reality. There’s also that feeling all the time of accidentally seeing your lesbian teenage intensely homoerotic situationship and freaking out and wondering what if and also gay has a history so maybe they will reunite one day and it kinda left it open and slightly hopeful so I Understand the ending ultimately and kinda love it for those reasons too

god tier absolutely

Beautifully written, well conceived, and ultimately heartbreaking. I’ve never been more grateful to have gone to public school.
