I really liked this book. Although I didn’t appreciate all the content, I let it slide because it is a YA book and I really wanted to finish it.  (I read it in one evening. I was about 20 pages in at 9:30pm and I just finished it and it is 1:45am. So very captivating.)

very cute story. i appreciate how there was a combination of romance but also more complex emotions, such as grief  and longing. but i guessed the ending from early on, so i didn't find it as much of a page turner as i hoped.

The idea behind this was cute. The mysterious secret text admirer was what kept me reading.

I enjoyed the story for the most part but the writing ruined it for me. The characters were not realistically written like early highschool-age teens. Reading the dialogue was awkward and cringey, and the internal monologue of the protagonist was as well. That, and a few times in the book there was an uncomfortable description of the protag's sexuality/body that felt really out of place. Topics regarding sex and sexuality are of course topics that can and should be accessible in YA books, but the instances it was used in this book felt objectifying and needless.
