I liked the journey of both Ollie and Will, and how both came to realise that, though their feelings were valid, they had also been ignorant to how their actions and words impacted the other and grew from these events. In contrast to this though, I felt some of the side characters could've used a little of this, particulalry Lara, who I felt had her rude comments swept under the rug due to "finding herself" and never really acknowledged how rude she could be.
Overall, I really enjoyed this, though I did find myself wanting just a little bit more from it, and perhaps a bit more romantic interaction from the MCs. Despite this, it was a good time and anyone who enjoys YA LGBTQIA+ romance will likely enjoy this, too.

This was cute. It dealt with "the usual" teenage feelings and drama, plus an added element of the main character's aunt being terminally ill with cancer.
The audiobook was nice, even if it annoyed when they vocalized "argh" and "ugh" in a very weird way. That's just me tho.
