This book is a gut-punch of a book. It has so much in it and Alyson Derrick really put her whole self in it. This story is about coming out, first love, and how love conquers all even in the face of those who don’t understand. The last bit of the book had me crying. I really felt like my heart was so full. This book is for the gays with religious trauma also and I had ALL the feels.

This was a rough read. The heavy homophobia and other bigotry certainly does not make this an easy read. The characters were lovely and I kept wishing them all the best, so I kept pushing through so I could get to their happy ending. And I’ll always be a sucker for the lesbian’s himbo best friend <3

I don’t usually read YA or fiction but out of the three I’ve read this year THIS ONE both melted my heart and put a knife thru it. Great last 3 chapters. Loved it.
