This book is so complicated… yet so simple at the same time. Awesome representation of three-dimensional queer characters of all kinds. Really loved the exploitation of nuance and discourse and community, etc

Honestly, I loved this book! I decided to read it primarily because I’ve enjoyed Becky Albertalli’s previous work and I knew there was some pansexual/panromantic representation. But, I ended up being blown away by how much I liked this book. The cast of characters is realistic, relatable, and fun to read about. The story itself is touching, funny, and great all around. The primary romance was compelling and I loved the dynamics. I loved this book and would highly recommend it!
