Perfectly balanced with the topics of sex and uni for their ages. Appreciated the parent flashbacks too, explaining their feelings.

I've mentioned previously how I've really grown out of the YA genre as a whole, but there seems to always be something about this series that never deters me. Alison Oseman has continued to do such a wonderful job of portraying young queer love in a way that tells readers that this love is safe. There's so many powerful works on the different facets of being part of the community, but sometimes all you really need is a wholesome story of two queer boys learning to love themselves and each other as they grow up. Specifically with this volume, I think it's surprising and wonderful that even outside the queer themes, there are still many lessons and reflective pieces that I, at least personally, can take away and hold onto for myself. Despite having graduated high school almost four years ago now, there were still moments that resonated with my experiences all the way up to now. Ideas of dealing with mental health, sex, future studies, and long distance—all things that can be pinnacle to the "coming of age experience"—are navigated with grace and sincerity, while also not feeling exploitative or inappropriate for the characters and readers.
It's kind of crazy to say that we're almost at the end here, but I'm always eager to follow where these precious characters land next.
