I thought that this book was a precious snapshot of first love, coming out, and changing your little corner of the world. Ruby and Morgan were adorable and frustrating together, but also they were complete people on their own. I loved the cast of side characters who were there to support the girls, particularly Morgan's friends from her LGBT Pride Club and Morgan's former stepfather, Billy. This is just a very sweet slice of queer girl life, and I loved it.
I deducted a star just because I didn't think there was anything particularly special about the writing. I didn't think it was bad, but it also isn't the thing that I'm going to think about when I think about the book in the future. The character work, however, I think was really good.
