Apart from one spoiler, I liked the way friendships were done although I feel they could have been developed a little further. And the romance was hardly more unrealistic than your typical YA romance so whilst it wasn’t anything special, I liked it. It was fine. But to be honest I could have had the book without it personally.
The ending was a bit idealistic in some areas, yet also didn’t have enough resolution for me in others
Overall, I think there are better YA romances, but think the trans rep was pretty good, I really liked Amanda as a character and I enjoyed the friendships. And, if nothing else, it was easy, engaging and fairly enjoyable

With all of these triggers it is amazingly well written. Looking at all the topics covered I'm surprised how well each was handled so my overall impression of the book was unbelievably positive and encouraging.loverofeels's review against another edition
