This was way more messy than it had to be–even with the distraction of the Rae & Coop mystery-hunting subplot. In this coming of age story about labels (and jealousy), Coop is the only one that came out smelling like roses. I usually enjoy YA books, but this might’ve been too YA for my fully formed adult brain.

This book almost completely abandons one of the viewpoint characters in the final third.

Would have been better if it ended with a throuple

5.0

This book was phenomenally written in 3 parts, each from the POV of a different main character. Each of the 3 grapples with the closeness of their relationships with the other 2. Their stories touch on questioning queerness, loss of family, assault, dealing with childhood trauma, and social justice
