This book was a good read. It was fun, light-hearted, and touched on some more serious aspects of life. This is an LGBTQ YA book worth reading for pure entertainment purposes.

I wanted to love this! About 2/3 of the way through it lost a lot of steam for me, and after that it was a struggle to finish.

I love the concept of having a male childhood bestfriends turned to gay lovers in the future however, there are bit much things that I like in this book. The way it was written was too plain, dialogue heavy and did not really capture my attention and the way things, specially the cheating, was not written well. It would have been better if the author explored other reasons/motivations to somewhat "justify" the things that happened in the story and probably have the readers relate more to the characters. I also like the diversity of the character shown in the stort however, the way the gay life was depicted was a bit too clichè. I still find the story quite entertaining. I just find the sstory not too impactful to me because I was not able to relate to the characters and their experiences.

I really dont know how i finished this... just started to get into the story then Florence appeared and it has been a long while since i have seen a character i dislike that much... i just couldnt concentrate in the story between her jealousy and every time i saw her name i got mad... i mean she cheated ln MC and then got mad when he didnt get along with her new gf or when he moved on with his life...

den var ok, men nja hade sina fualts

helt ärligt, tycker dom blir arga på nick bird ibland nör det verkligen inte är hams fel eller ansvar eller yeah när han borde vara arg tillbaka

lixom hypocrqsy... speciellt med florence, it was kinda annoying

oliver james, du var mer vanlig and i applaud u for that... ja du har rätt att vara sur men oxå kändes som du o alla andra borde förstå nicks rädslor mer... aja

to be 16 again... they stupid, and overdramatic

aja oxå tänkte att det vore cute om man äver tid fick se hur nick blev bättre på asl o kom ihåg mer o mer från när de var små, but no...

aja inget speciellt o snabbläst
