Few books make me actually laugh out loud. But this one did. And I even learnt a thing or two, which I always love

Light hearted and emotional and pure. It’s a raw and hopeful young love. It addresses queer issues in an honest and real way that had me in my own feels. The “smut” isn’t too much and is well done. I know many aren’t fans of “slang” or modern talking but I felt like it made the characters so relatable and like my friends. Well done.
