I really loved this book. It took a while for me to really get absorbed by it, but by the second half I just couldn‘t put it down. The characters are lovable but not without their flaws, and the story between them is bittersweet. I had not expected to root so much for their friendship in the end. Very lovely :)

disorganised thoughts!!:

i love that the narrator is kind of in gwen/art's head but not really. it's not like stream of consciousness and it's not boring, everything has character and personality. and so funny too!! in a real way, like pls the dialogue is so fun.

so well written, easy to read but never boring. same with characters, sometimes they're difficult but they're SO loveable. i like how the intensity and serious-ness grew at a rate that was surprising and interesting but not overwhelming or unbelievable.

also diversity! in multiple ways, and it never feels forced. like an Asian lesbian love interest?  and she's SO fucking cool?? yes
