i liked this book, but i like any book that makes me cry so take that with a grain of salt. i have like two things to say. one: why the fuck is this 16 y/o GIRL’S love interest a college student. maybe it’s only me because i’m also a sophomore in high school and would absolutely never date a freshman in college, but i still just didn’t get the necessity. like their love story could have been so cute! it probably was cute to some people, but the fact that he is literally starting his life as an adult while she is barely the legal age of consent is weird as fuck to me. it made me want to dnf the book, but i persevered. anyways, thing two is that the resolution just seemed to come too fast. i didn’t like that. we spent the entire book figuring out why these two kids are so wounded and why their relationship was so strained, only for it to all be resolved within literally two pages. i loved that the gays got their happy ending though 😁💓💓 anyways, it wasn’t bad. i would definitely still recommend to people i know would like it, but it for sure isn’t a new favorite like i thought it would be.
